Indian National Overseas Congress, USA strongly condemns the cowardly attack on an Army Camp in Jammu and Kashmir in the early hours of September 18, which killed 17 and injured 30 service personnel.
‘We join the civilized people everywhere in condemning this dastardly attack across the border from Pakistan and offer our condolences and prayers to families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives’ said George Abraham, Chairman, INOC, USA. “We also call upon Pakistan to stop exporting terrorism and return the region to relative peace and tranquility’. Mr. Abraham added.
Smt. Sonai Gandhi, the President of AICC, has expressed her outrage on behalf of all peace-loving people everywhere that the Uri attack is an attack on India’s national conscience and the perpetrators should be severely dealt with. We also concur with a call from Shashi Tharoor, M.P. for an urgent review of India’s defense systems, preparedness, and firepower to strengthen the border and prevent infiltrations of terrorists.
It is also time for the United States to take a serious look at the foreign military assistance to Pakistan and how those resources are being diverted to cross-border terrorism and other nefarious activities.
