Indian National Overseas Congress, USA
strongly condemns the cowardly attack on an Army Camp in Jammu
and Kashmir in the early hours of September 18, which
killed 17 and injured 30 service personnel.
‘We join the civilized people everywhere in condemning this
dastardly attack across the border from Pakistan and offer our condolences and
prayers to families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice with their
lives’ said George Abraham, Chairman, INOC,
USA. “We also call upon Pakistan
to stop exporting terrorism and return the region to relative peace and
tranquility’. Mr. Abraham added.
Smt. Sonai Gandhi, the President of AICC, has expressed her
outrage on behalf of all peace-loving people everywhere that the Uri attack is
an attack on India’s
national conscience and the perpetrators should be severely dealt with. We also
concur with a call from Shashi Tharoor, M.P. for an urgent review of India’s
defense systems, preparedness, and firepower to strengthen the border and
prevent infiltrations of terrorists.
It is also time for the United
States to take a serious look at the foreign
military assistance to Pakistan
and how those resources are being diverted to cross-border terrorism and other
nefarious activities.
