The Pakistan backed terror groups are today an exhausted lot in Jammu & Kashmir so they are targeting innocent people in utter frustration. These terror groups are failing to find support among the Kashmiri youth, they want to terrorise the local people by targeting the innocent lives. The successful operations by the security forces have led to elimination of the top ranks of the terror groups who are facing defeat after defeat at the hands of brave and courageous security forces. It is to be noted that under the strong and determined leadership of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, peace, development and prosperity is returning to Jammu & Kashmir. BJP National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda has rightly said that the sacrifice of Sheikh Wasim Bari will not go in vain. We pay our tributes to Sheikh Wasim, his father and brother for their martyrdom.
