NEW DELHI: BJP today appealed for peace in the violence-hit valley and asked political parties to not politicise the situation there, saying it was a matter of national security.
It also asserted that its Government was working with a policy of “zero tolerance to terrorism” and said people across the country are one in the fight against terrorism.
“We appeal for peace in Kashmir. Terrorism is enemy of humanity and we have seen its ugly face recently during the Eid festival. The whole country is united in finishing it off. We will also appeal to political parties to not politicise the situation as it is a matter of national security,” BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
His comments came on a day when Congress leaders took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the violence in Kashmir.
“The whole world is united against terrorism and so are people of India,” he said. (AGENCIES)
