He said terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir was now counting its last breaths but some pro-Pakistan and some fanatic elements were trying to revive it by killing innocent people.

Bharatiya said seven killings during the last one week in Jammu and Kashmir had created a sense of anger among the people of India because "Hindus were being selectively targeted and that was a serious issue".

On this occasion, intellectual head of Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, Hamirpur, Neelam Kumari also appealed to the society to unite.
