Terrorism will not be tolerated: BJP
State president of BJP minority morcha Bilal Shah said the Bharatiya Janata Party strongly condemns the “barbaric and cowardly attack”. Bilal said, “Terrorism will not be tolerated at all and the way this incident has been carried out, it is clear that international terrorist organisations do not like the flourishing Jammu and Kashmir. Trade was increasing in Jammu and Kashmir and tourists were also increasing, perhaps this was not acceptable to the terrorists. The BJP leadership will give a strong reply.”
