BJP today strongly condemned the barbaric murder of a young Army officer by militants today .

"We strongly condemn the heinous and barbaric act committed by the terrorists last night in Shopian, where a young Indian Army officer attending a wedding in his village during leave was kidnapped by the terrorists and brutally murdered", Brig Anil Gupta, State Spokesperson of BJP, said.

He said that this barbaric act is the manifestation of an extremist ideology on the Kashmiris by Pak-sponsored terrorists.

"Killing of a fellow Kashmiri Sunni Muslim is against all tenets of Islam," said Brig Gupta.

The world has already witnessed the barbarism of the ISIS cadre in Syria, Iraq and in Kurdish territories, he said.
 

Instead of succumbing to the diktats of jihadi terrorists, they need to fight them, he said.

The time has come for the majority peace loving Kashmiris to unite and rise against the menace of terrorism, said Gupta.
