Pt M Venkateshkumar
said time has come to teach the enemies within and outside the country who are trying to destabilise India by terrorist attacks and other anti-national activities and the entire country should unite in the fight against terrorism. Inaugurating a torchlight march organised by Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha here on Monday evening to protest the killing of innocent tourists by terrorists in Pahalgam, Venkateshkumar said using the tragic incident to gain political milage and trying to create communal divide will only demoralise the soldiers who are protecting the country at the border facing all odds and one should forget internal differences during such crisis. He said India is capable of teaching a befitting lesson to the perpetrators of the heinous crime. President of KVV Sangha Chandrakant Bellad, former KAS officer Venkatesh Machakanur, CU Bellakki, Basavaprabhu Hoskeri and others spoke. Hundreds of people participated in the silent march. A minute's silence was observed to condone the death of 26 victims.
