New Delhi, Sep 20: In wake of the ghastly Uri terror attack that shook the nation and defence establishment, people of India have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a strict action against the perpetrators of the deadly strike that claimed so many innocent lives. Expressing rage through Twitter and Facebook posts, Indians urged Modi to teach Pakistan a lesson for life. The terror attack that took place on Sunday morning around 5.30 AM on an Army camp in Uri region of Jammu and Kashmir,  claimed lives of 18 soldiers, triggering a national uproar.

Appalled by the brutal attack, twitterati expressed their frustration  and asked the government to launch an effective action plan against such attacks. India has been on target for such terrorist activities since a long time.  An angry rhetoric echoed from across the nation, asking  for revenge. A revenge for the lost lives, a revenge that the families of the martyred seek. There were Facebook posts seeking revenge from Pakistan. In their tweets and Facebook posts, citizens of India asked Prime Minister Modi to wake up and take appropriate action since it was high time now and many sacrifices have been already made. There was a cry for revenge from families of the martyred soldiers. The families demanded a strict and decisive action against the neighbouring country for targeting India and killing the innocent ones.

This ‘fidayeen’ attack was the deadliest of all in recent times that reported one of the worst casualties suffered by the Indian Army. The militants attacked the rear office of 12th brigade headquarters at Uri, located close to the Line of Control (LoC). Countless jawans have sacrificed their livesfor the motherland, but yet India patiently waits to respond to Pakistan.

A wreath laying ceremony for 17 soldiers martyred in Uri terror attack took place on Monday morning, with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti laying wreaths on the coffins of the brave-hearts. DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh in his statements on Sunday said  the terror attack was carried on by ‘foreign terrorists’ who are believed to belong to Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit. He said the recoveries during Uri operation include 4 AK rifles,4 grenade launchers,4 under barrel grenade launchers. He also said that infiltration has increased this year in comparison to the last 3 to 4 years. Recoveries also include 39 under barrel grenade launcher grenades, 5 hand grenades, 2 radio sets, 2 global positioning systems.

In wake of the Uri attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting on Monday which was attended by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag were among those who attended the meeting. As per reports by IANS, the government is likely to look into ‘lapses’ leading to the terror attack and will formulate an appropriate response in the wake of the terror attack.
