Kulgam: The Chief of Bharatiya Janata Party of Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir Ravinder Raina on Monday condemned the killing of retired Army soldier in terror attack in South Kashmir’s Kulgam and said that attempts are being made to destabilize peace and the terrorists will have to pay a heavy price for their sins.
Speaking with the media Ravinder Raina said, “In a coward Pakistani terror attack, a retired Indian Army Jawan Lance Naik Manzoor Ahmad Wagay lost his life at village Behibagh in South Kashmir. His injured wife and niece are admitted in hospital and undergoing treatment. Attempts are being made to destabilize the peace. Innocent ex-serviceman is targeted. This is unacceptable. The security forces have cordoned off the area. These enemies of Kashmir and peace will be dealt with iron hands. These Pakistani terrorists have to pay a heavy price for their sins.”
