Strongly condemning the terror attack on an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri that left 17 soldiers dead on Sunday, the RSS demanded that the "terrorists, their masters and supporters" should be dealt with firmly.
In a statement, senior Rashtriya Sawemsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi expressed "heartfelt condolences for the martyred brave soldiers" who sacrificed their lives for the country.
"The terrorists, their masters and their supporters should be dealt with firmly and conclusively," the statement said without any reference to Pakistan.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- who strongly condemned the "cowardly terror attack" and assured the nation that "those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished" -- refrained from saying who was to blame for the bloodbath, Home Minister Rajnath Singh held Pakistan responsible.
