(PTI) Jammu, Ta. 29
Three BJP workers were shot dead in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The militants indiscriminately opened fire on the BJP secretary of Kashmir's youth front and two of his associates. All three BJP workers died on the spot. Security forces launched a search operation to nab the terrorists.
Fida Hussain, general secretary of the BJP's youth front in Jammu and Kashmir, was on his way home with two of his colleagues when the three were indiscriminately fired upon by militants. All three died on the spot. The terrorists fled after the attack. The whole area was in an uproar after the attack. The task fell to the BJP workers.
Security forces cordoned off the entire Kulgam area after the incident and conducted a search operation. Police have also started searching every suspicious house in the area where the terrorists are likely to be hiding. Based on the inquiries of the locals, the security forces came to know that the two militants had come in a vehicle. An investigation is underway based on that information.
In Jammu and Kashmir, there have been attacks on political leaders in the past. Incidents of terrorists firing on sarpanches are also being reported. Earlier, BJP leader Ghulam Qadir's house was attacked in October last year. Ghulam Qadir survived, but a policeman guarding him was killed.
On the other hand, Pakistan's Napak army fired indiscriminately on the Kashmir border. The Pakistani army opened fire on Indian outposts in the Poonch sector of the LoC. Fortunately, the Indian troops were not injured. India also fired back in response to Pakistan, a defense spokesman said.
