BJP’s three-day national council meeting begins in Kozhikode

Both leaders will touch on the Uri incident in their speeches, party leaders said. “If terrorism becomes a part of state politics, this is not less than war crimes from any angle”, Shah said. “We strongly condemn the Uri attack in which 18 soldiers lost their lives”. The BJP chief’s hard-hitting statement came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a power-packed message to Islamabad while at the same time engaging with Pakistanis on issues of development in the public rally on the Kozhikode beach.

“BJP feels the widespread anger in the people against the conspirators behind the Uri terror attack”.

The BJP president also spoke about India’s attempts to isolate Pakistan on global platforms and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured the nation that the perpetrators behind the URI attack will be brought to book. BJP and the central government have adopted the policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism from the beginning. Geo further states, “Spewing hatred against the neighbouring country, Modi accused Pakistan of being “the epicentre of terrorism” and claimed it was “exporting terrorism” to the world”. Madhav parried a volley of questions about the party’s position on the Uri attack but made it clear that it will be deliberated in the Council. “Terrorists have made 17 attempts to infiltrate… but our fearless soldiers have foiled them”.

Shah lauded BJP-led NDA government’s efforts.

The BJP appeals to the countrymen including all political parties to stand firmly behind our government and the security forces in the decisive battle against terrorism.

India has always been a victim of Pakistan’s sponsorship of terrorism and faced several small and big terror attacks in the last many years.

Asked about the “lack of action” despite leaders, including him, making strong comments against Pakistan, he said, “You want only statements or action too?”

He also clarified that the government was ready to talk to anyone who believes in the Indian Constitution.
