This is the biggest terrorist attack in the last 3 years.

This year, from January till date 40 terrorists have been killed. Of the only 8 were local, but the rest were foreigners.

Editorial Viewpoint

Annually, more than 100 terrorists are neutralised in Kashmir, but still terrorism is not completely uprooted from Kashmir. For that, it is necessary to destroy Pakistan, which is the promoter of terrorism. As well as curb the jihadi mentality prevalent in Kashmir.
