Singh tweeted, “The brutal killing of 3 youths by terrorists in Bani area of district #Kathua is extremely sad as well as a matter of great concern. There appears to be a deep conspiracy behind spoiling the atmosphere in this peaceful area.”
जिला #Kathua के बनी क्षेत्र में 3 युवाओं की आतंकियों द्वारा निर्मम हत्या अत्यंत दुखद होने के साथ-साथ एक बड़ी चिंता का विषय है। इस शांतिपूर्ण क्षेत्र में माहौल बिगाड़ने के पीछे गहरा षड्यंत्र दिखाई देता है।
