The immediate meeting was called after two school teachers Sukhvinder Kaur & Deepak were killed by terrorists in Srinagar today, mere two days after popular pharmacist Makhan Bindroo was shot dead.

कश्मीर में आतंकियों द्वारा शिक्षकों की निर्मम हत्या बेहद व्यथित करने वाली हैं। मृतकों के परिवारों के साथ मेरी संवेदनाएं हैं।

आतंकवाद को मुंहतोड़ जवाब दिए जाने की ज़रुरत है। देश के लोगों की सुरक्षा में किसी भी तरह की ढिलाई नहीं बरती जा सकती।
