Vice President Hamid Ansari today strongly condemned the terrorist attack on an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri that killed 17 soldiers, saying it was the result of "cross-border terrorism by one particular country in our region."
"My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those whose loved ones have been killed," Ansari said here.
"Such attacks are the result of the use of cross-border terrorism by one particular country in our region. We shall deal with such provocations in a befitting manner," he said.
