Samba (Jammu and Kashmir): Lauding the security forces for a strong retaliatory response to Pakistan, the deputy chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Nirmal Singh, on Sunday said the Pulwama encounter had exposed Pakistan.
Singh said the act depicted Pakistan’s desperation and frustration.
“Pakistan does cross-border firing in desperation and frustration, attacks our posts, and kills our civilians. We are replying to them and they are facing defeat. Pakistan has been exposed and isolated on diplomatic front,” he said.
