On the other hand, BJP activists raised slogans against Pakistan and the Pakistan-sponsored terrorists while marching toward Sackhi roundabout. The agitated BJP activists who were carrying party flag as well as National flag burnt Pakistan and the Islamic militants in effigy. "It is high time tough stand is taken by our country. Jaish-e-Mohammed has carried out this terror attack. The Government must undertake whatever it takes to avenge this,” an activist of BJP.
One of the party workers said, "Very painful and shameful incident. The terrorists are bred by Pakistan. We want Prime Minister Modi to attack Pakistan and teach it a lesson". He went on to add that the residents of Kashmir had been enjoying special package being provided by the India Government and now they should also be subjected to the harsh Saria rule under which a person if convicted for a theft case has to lose a hand. Then only the people of Kashmir will stop giving moral support to the militants.
