NEW DELHI, Mar 21: Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad has condemned the back to back terrorist attacks that took place in Jammu on two consecutive days.
He expressed concern over the heightened terrorist activities and said “the spurt in terrorist violence is a cause of grave concern and this needs to be condemned in no uncertain terms”.
He also hailed the role of security forces who displayed exemplary valour and alertness to take on the terrorists without loss of time and thus kept the loss of human lives at minimum.
Azad said that our security forces have always fought the terrorist violence sponsored from across the border with utmost resolve and firm determination and that entire nation stands by them in fighting the monster of terror unleashed by Pakistan.
He paid tributes to the security personnel and civilians who lost their lives in the twin terrorist attacks and prayed for the speedy recovery of all those who have been injured.
“Such cowardly acts will not diminish our resolve to face the challenge posed by the terrorist organizations supported form across the border”, said Azad.
Azad said that Congress Party has never been in favour of politicization of such acts of terrorism and violence. However, BJP, which used such unfortunate events for reaping political harvest before Lok Sabha elections, needs to be reminded of its lofty promise of handling such acts differently.
“Where are those lofty promises and loud noises”?, asked Azad adding that statecraft and governance are not run on the basis of rhetoric and grandstanding.
Azad said that heightened terrorist violence is a matter of grave concern and the BJP/NDA Government, taking due note of it, should devise appropriate strategies to deal with it.
“Now that the people of the country have seen the hollowness of the promises and mindless rhetoric of the BJP and the NDA Government, it is time to concentrate on devising effective plans to foil the designs of the enemies of peace”, said Azad.
He further said that issues of national security should be dealt with care and sensitivity, bereft of euphoria or over-enthusiasm.
