'Terror and talks can't go hand-in-hand': BJP

MP Kirti Azad on Friday condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, saying there are some elements in Pakistan who do not want the relationship between New Delhi and Islamabad to move forward.

"There are some elements in Pakistan, who do not want India-Pakistan relations to be good. Unfortunately, Pakistan has not been able to stop such elements and may be all is taking place at their behest," he added.

BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain echoing similar sentiments said that the government would not let such terrorist activities succeed in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Terrorists will be dealt with strictly and no interference would be there in the path of development for the people of Jammu and Kashmir," Hussain told ANI.

One policeman was killed while nine others, including seven CRPF personnel, were injured in an attack on the Rajbagh Police Station in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district earlier this morning.

Two militants were also shot dead by the security forces in the ensuing gun battle.
