Uri terror attack should be condemned and the wrong doers should be punished. But this brutal act did not happen all of a sudden. It was part of the two month long violence in Kashmir which killed nearly hundred people and injured thousands of innocent Kashmiris.
When you show solidarity with martyred soldiers, you should not forget the martyred Kashmiri civilians. Only terrorists deserve death. Civilians deserve your solidarity and those who are using pellet guns against innocent civilians deserve punishment.
United for a better Mangaluru now expanded jurisdiction till district borders? Or this is a new forum?
Lets join our hands together to support our armed forces that are protection our nation by sacrifying lives.
Btw, why caostaldigst.com did not cover yesterday's event at the same Kadri War Memorial wherein nationalist leaders paid tributes to the martyrs?
