Sadhotra condemns Kathua terror attack

Jammu, July 9: National Conference Additional General Secretary and former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today condemned the terror ambush on Army convoy in Billawar in the Kathua district.

In a statement, he urged the Centre to take corrective measures by further strengthening the security grid in order to instill sense of security among the people. Sadhotra expressed grave concern over rising terror incidents in the Jammu region, saying the barbaric and inhuman acts have no place in a civilised society and the threat from enemies inimical to peace is not acceptable.

NC leader said the terror incidents in the midst of Shri Amarnathji Yatra is all the more worrisome and the security agencies must step up surveillance and take adequate measures to foil the machinations of terrorists. He said the government must understand the gravity of the situation, firm up its strategy to tackle with the monster of terror and shoulder its responsibilities with seriousness for the national security in general and instilling confidence among the people in particular. Instead of making tall claims of peace and normalcy, the government must plug the loopholes in the security grid, he said.
