Condemning the latest terrorist attack on the Army personnel in Kathua, the Opposition party said it is fully with the government for responding with effective action but also reminded the ruling establishment that merely making hollow speeches will not do. «This cowardly attack on our Army personnel is extremely condemnable.

In Parliament, the government claims the situation in J&K is normal. But if our soldiers are losing their lives in terrorist attacks, the government will have to give clarification.»
