The Indian Army’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh, today stated that the four terrorists who attacked an administrative base in Uri early morning, belonged to the Pakistan based terrorist outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and were carrying “war-like stores”, which had Pakistani markings on them.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad went on to take a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said: “Soldiers are dying due to the failure and negligence of Modi; where is his 56-inch chest now”.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has landed in Srinagar and is being briefed by Army Chief about the ground situation. He said that the terrorists had fired incendiary ammunition along with automatic fire of small arms that led to army tents and temporary shelters catching fire.
The attack came with Kashmir in the midst of its largest anti-India protests against Indian rule in recent years, sparked by the July 8 killing of a popular rebel commander by Indian troops.
New York City subway routes were affected by the explosion, which rattled some New Yorkers and visitors on the heels of the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Relations between India and Pakistan have been on edge since the New-Year attack on the Pathankot air force base in Punjab, near the border with Pakistan, that killed seven uniformed men.
All four heavily-armed “fidayeen” or suicide attackers, who barged into the camp near Uri town at 5.30 a.m., were killed in a battle that raged for two-and-a-half hours, military officials said.
The Pakistani army confirmed in a statement that the Indian side had established contact via a hotline. Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such, he added. Either way, Pakistan will continue to be a voice for the Kashmiri people as Kashmir braces itself for another crackdown from the Modi government.
He strongly condemned Pakistan for its open support and aid to terror from its soil against India.
“The days of so-called strategic restraint are over”.
