Expressing hope that onslaughts like the ones in Pathankot and Uri will not recur, CPI(M) today appealed to the government to continue with diplomatic and political moves to defuse tensions along the LoC after all-party leaders were briefed about army's surgical strikes on terror launching pads in PoK.
"The CPI(M) expresses the hope that now incidents like at Pathankot and at Uri will not recur. The CPI(M) has all along maintained that the safety and security of our people from cross-border terrorism must be ensured.
"We urge upon the Government of India to continue with the diplomatic and political moves to defuse tensions," CPI(M) Politburo said in a statement.
Party general secretary Sitaram Yechury had taken part in the all-party meeting.
Meanwhile, CPI leader Atul Anjan insisted that the government put all the facts before the country relating to the surgical strikes conducted last night, targeting terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC).
