Raina said Pakistan and its sponsored terrorists are shaken by the successive successful operations by Indian security forces.

While strongly condemning the killing of the 35-year-old Pandita, Jammu and Kashmir VHP working president Rajesh Gupta expressed shock and grief and said killing of Hindus in Kashmir is a cause of concern for every right thinking person in the country.

He said merely strong words would not be enough to condemn the killing. 

Such actions, he said, cannot stop the return of Hindus to Kashmir.
