Srinagar, Dec 23 (KNS): People’s Conference chairman Sajad Lone on Saturday said that the loss of civilian lives in Poonch is a grim reminder to the “challenges that we still face” and the last three decades have been dotted with such heinous acts.
In a statement issued to KNS he said that non-combatants have paid a heavy price. “Let truth be told. In some cases there was total denial. In some cases cosmetic condemnation.”
He said that may be time has come to have an institutional mechanism to ensure transparency in such cases and punishment as per the law of the land.
“Zero tolerance to terror has to be followed up with zero tolerance towards rogue terror.
Our prayers with the families,” he said. (KNS)
