While talking to media, Jammu Kashmir BJP President, Ravinder Raina said, “Pakistan’s terrorists attacked an Indian Army vehicle which was passing from Baramulla’s Gulmarg. They do not have the courage to face the soldiers of Indian Army, and that is why, they attacked them from the shadows. These terrorists will not be spared. India will find each one of them and punish them.”
