"The incident that happened today is very sad. Our government is continuously taking action and will also respond to the incident. And for the responsibility of security that the people of the country have given to the NDA, our government and our Prime Minister Modi are committed to making every possible effort to keep the people of the country and the country safe," Rajbhar said. He urged the opposition to not politicize any terrorist attack and sought their suggestions on how to prevent such incidents.

The post mentioned that during these attacks, 12 soldiers were killed, 13 were injured, 10 civilians were killed, and 44 were injured. (ANI)
