While asking Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, BJP president Amit Shah and other BJP, RSS leaders to stop making jingoistic statements, he demanded that the government declare the terror attacks against security forces in Udhampur, Pathankot and Uri as “acts of war”. We should remain alert to any further mischief of Pakistan instead of whipping up hysteria on matters of national security”. He said the Congress had endorsed the government’s decision and supported the action as informed by the DGMO, also praising the sacrifices of soldiers, who fell victim to the terror attacks in Udhampur, Pathankot and Uri.
