The state unit of Congress today held a protest against Pakistan in Kathua district over the terrorist attack in Punjab's Gurdaspur.
While condemning the drastic terrorist attack, senior vice president of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Sham Lal Sharma strongly condemned Pakistan for "continuously sponsoring terrorism" in the country.
"We strongly condemn the attack in Dina Nagar areas of Gurdaspur in Punjab in which a Jammu bound bus also targeted.
The terrorists also attacked the police and the civilians resulting into several causalities," he said.
"Pakisatan must stop sponsoring terrorism in India," he said.
Meanwhile, the state Congress leadership also accused the BJP-PDP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir for shifting of the proposed AIIMS in the region to Kashmir.
Congress leaders accused the Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh and Forest Minister Bali Bhagat for betraying the people of Jammu on the issue of AIIMS.
"They have betrayed the people of Jammu over the issue of AIIMS and they must seek public apology from the people of the region for stabbing them in the back," he said.
