J&K attack attempt to destabilise peace: Rajnath

New Delhi, Aug 6: Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday condemned the Udhampur terror attack and termed it an attempt by Pakistan to destabilise peace in Jammu and Kashmir. "Two militants attacked Border Security Force (BSF) convoy in Udhampur in Jammu on Wednesday. Two jawans were killed and 14 were injured in the attack," the home minister said in a statement in the Rajya Sabha. "One of the two terrorists was killed and the other was arrested with the help of locals. The other terrorist has been brought to Jammu and interrogation is on. After initial interrogation, the terrorist has told his name is Naved, alias Mohammad Usman, and he is from Faisalabad," Singh added. The Rajya Sabha, which has been repeatedly disrupted since the beginning of the session, agreed to hear the minister's statement on the attack in silence, with leader of opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad calling it a matter of great concern for the whole nation. He said an AK-47 with magazines and explosives were recovered. "This attack is an attempt by cross border terrorists to disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir. We condemn it," he said.
