Hoardings in J&K's Srinagar slam Pak terror on 26/11 anniversary; say 'India is united'

On the 12th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack that was planned and perpetrated by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, hoardings were seen in Srinagar calling out Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism. Ahead of DDC elections in J&K, Pakistan has been trying to disturb the situation by continuous ceasefire violation along the border. Moreover, last week, security forces exposed Pakistan-based terror groups' attempt of 26/11 type attack in Nagrota.

The hoardings in Srinagar show how Kashmiris are united against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, and despite Pakistan's attempts to intervene in the UT, they stand together with India.
