Congress President Sonia Gandhi today said India would not be cowed down by the "deceitful" killing of five of its soldiers by Pakistan along the LoC and asked the Government to take "appropriate" measures.
Expressing deep grief and shock over the incident in Jammu & Kashmir, she said that the entire Congress party as indeed the entire country stands by the families of the martyred soldiers.
Gandhi said the Indian nation could "not be cowed down" by such "blatant acts of deceit" and urged the Government to take appropriate steps.
