Acts of ISI-backed anti-nationals: Chugh

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh has described the incidents of militant attacks in Srinagar as the “cowardly acts of disruptive and anti-national forces backed by Pakistan ISI”.

He said the killing of two government schoolteachers was a heinous crime committed by desperate militants trying to scuttle peace and development in the Valley.

Congress chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma also condemned the killings and said, “The government must bring its act together.”
