PM condemns Jammu attack, says it won't derail talks with Pakistan

The Prime Minister today condemned the attack on a police station and army camp in Jammu by militants and said that India was firmly resolved in combating the terrorist menace that received support from Pakistan. However, it would not derail the impending talks between India and Pakistan , he said.

“No words are strong enough to condemn the heinous terrorist attack on Hiranagar police station and the army camp at Samba in Jammu & Kashmir this morning. I convey my heartfelt condolences to the families of the brave army and police officers, as well as the innocent civilians martyred in this cowardly attack,” Singh said in a statement today.

We re firmly resolved to combat and defeat the terrorist menace that continues to receive engagement and reinforcement from across the border,” he said.

“Such attacks will not deter us and will not succeed in derailing our efforts to find a resolution to all problems through a process of dialogue,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister is presently en route to New York where he is expected to meet his counterpart Nawaz Sharif to engage in bilateral talks that were derailed by violations of the ceasefire along the Jammu-Kashmir border.
