The minority wing of the Delhi BJP today paid rich tributes to the security personnel killed while fighting terrorists during an attack on an Indian Air Force base at Pathankot.
"Members of Delhi BJP Minority Morcha, led by their president Atif Rasheed, gathered outside the city's ten prominent mosques for a memorial meeting after the special Friday prayer for the Pathankot martyrs," party spokesman Praveen Kapoor said.
Paying tributes to those killed in the attack outside Fatehpuri Masjid, Rasheed said "the Muslim community of Delhi feels deeply hurt by the Pathankot air base incident and strongly condemns this act of terrorism."
Residents from Balli Maran, Lal Kuan, Khari Baoli areaa also joined to pay their tributes to the martyrs, Kapoor said.
Similar memorial meetings were organised by the Minority Morcha in other parts of the city, including historic Ghanta Ghar Chowk.
