He also said the attack showed that the measures taken to deal with terrorists had not yielded results and asked the Centre to take all possible steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
"It needs to be looked at seriously that why such attacks are happening on the bases of our security forces, their camps. This happens nowhere. There are several countries exposed to terror threats, but none of them feels as weak, as helpless as we seem to be today," the former Union minister told reporters at his residence in Uttar Pradesh's Noida.
"The same army camp was attacked in 2003 as well. There were intelligence inputs then about the attack. This is something that no nation will feel proud about," he added.
The disgruntled BJP leader, who has criticised the Centre on a host of issues in the past, said bullets were being fired from across the border, notwithstanding Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's assertion that India "won't count bullets, if attacked".
Singh, who visited the BSF's Munabao Border Outpost, had assured the security personnel that the government would do everything to improve the border infrastructure, including completing the process of floodlighting and building a parallel road along the fencing, and their service conditions.
"Every day bullets are being fired (from Pakistan). Our people are dying. This should not be tolerated," Sinha said.
Six people, including five army personnel, were killed in the attack.
