‘Teach Pakistan a lesson’: J K BJP

Jammu: BJP unit of Jammu and Kashmir today urged its government at the Centre to adopt a clear and decisive strategy to “teach Pakistan a lesson”.

“The time has come when Union government should adopt a clear and decisive strategy to teach Pakistan a lesson,” state BJP president and MLC Sat Sharma said.

Sharma, who was paying homage to army personnel at a function here, said the fidayeen attack on an army base in Uri at the “behest of Pakistan” was the worst kind of “inhuman act” and highly condemnable.

He said the attack, in which 18 soldiers were killed, has shook the entire nation.

“Whatever the nation is facing in Jammu and Kashmir is due to the blunders committed by Congress under its appeasement policy which promoted separatism and encouraged Pakistan to impose direct and proxy wars against India in Kashmir,” he alleged.

National General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Kaul, while paying tributes to the martyrs, said Pakistan has been indulging in infiltration and pushing “trained terrorists” into the Indian territory, especially in Kashmir with a sole motive of “disturbing peace”.

He said the people should understand the “evil designs” of the neighbouring country.

“The soldiers who got martyrdom will remain a source of inspiration and induces a commitment to serve the motherland at any cost,” Kaul said.
