Govt should give befitting reply to Pak-backed terrorists: AAP leader

New Delhi, Sep 14: The AAP’s senior leader Sanjay Singh on Thursday said the Centre should give a befitting reply to Pakistan-sponsored terrorists involved in the killing of four personnel of the Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police in Anantnag.
Three Army personnel, including a Colonel commanding a battalion and a Major, and a Deputy Superintendent of the Jammu and Kashmir Police were killed in a gunfight with terrorists in the higher reaches of the Kokorenag area on Wednesday while one soldier was missing.
Addressing a press conference here, Singh said, “I demand the Narendra Modi government takes care of their families and extends maximum help in terms of providing employment.”
“The government should give a befitting reply to the Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. If the government does not act on it, we will raise these issues in the special session of the Parliament,” the AAP MP said while noting that he and Raghav Chadha have been suspended from the Rajya Sabha.
Colonel Manpreet Singh, commanding officer of 19 Rashtriya Rifles, Major Ashish Dhonack, and DSP Humayun Bhat were critically injured in the gunfight with terrorists that ensued in the Garol area of Anantnag district in the morning hours of Wednesday.
The officers succumbed to their injuries during treatment. A jawan also died in the encounter, officials have said while adding that the whereabouts of another soldier was not immediately known. (PTI)
