He appreciated Chief Minister
Omar Abdullah
for his outreach in the aftermath of the attack and said the all-party meeting convened by him sent a strong message that "we are standing united in this hour of grief".
"A united voice in this difficult time is necessary to make these nefarious designs of terrorists unsuccessful," he said, adding no words can compensate for the loss of victim families but the House wants to convey to the nation that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are badly hurt by this incident and share their sympathies with all the victim families from across the country.
He said the 90 elected legislators have a responsibility to ensure that no evil eye should harm the unity demonstrated by the people, irrespective of their religion.
Asking people to refrain from using language that can hit the morale of the security forces and the government, he said Pakistan fully understands that it can never win in a conventional war against India and is, therefore, plotting such conspiracies to disturb peace and incite polarisation.
