Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Sunday condemned the successive terror attacks in Samba and Kathua districts of the state, calling it a 'conspiracy' to affect the peace process in the state.

"It is highly condemnable. This is a conspiracy to affect peace process in Jammu and Kashmir. Anonymous resolution must be passed by the Assembly, strongly condemning such attacks," Mufti said in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.

"If Pakistan wants good relations and peaceful dialogue with India, they must control terrorism, there is no other way than that," he added.

Earlier in the day, the state assembly witnessed an uproar as Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs raised anti-Pakistan slogans.

Brigadier RS Rana had on Saturday said the possibility of the presence of terrorists in Samba district could be ruled out, adding it appears that those responsible for the Samba terror attack came from Pakistan.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had also assured that all necessary actions were being followed with regard to the militant attack on an army camp in Samba.

The Samba attack came less than 24 hours after six people, including two militants, were killed in an attack on the Rajbagh police station in the state's Kathua district.
