In a queer way of driving home their point, a group of people from different religions on Wednesday sent a letter written with their blood to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to take stringent action against Pakistan.

The letter was written by Sarv Brahaman Maha Sabha (SBMS) in the wake of the recent Uri terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that left 18 jawans dead.

Representatives from Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian communities were present in the letter writing programme, SBMS spokesman B K Sharma said.

He said the gesture signified that people belonging to all religions had the same blood in their veins.

"Strict action is required to check the massacre which is being perpetrated by Pakistan," Sharma said.

In one of the deadliest attacks on the Army in recent years, 18 jawans were killed and 19 injured as heavily armed militants stormed a battalion headquarters of the force in Uri town in the wee hours on September 18.
