"Attacks in J&K are condemnable. They are desperate attempts to
derail the atmosphere of hope & goodwill as seen by increased voter
turnout," Modi tweeted as militants struck at various places across
Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed huge voter turnout in the first two phases of assembly polls so far despite boycott call by separatists. Three more phases of polling are yet to take place.
Paying tributes to the defence personnel, the Prime Minister said "125 crore Indians bow to our brave Army men who sacrificed their lives. These men lived & died for the nation. We won't forget them."
Modi is scheduled to address two rallies in Kashmir on Monday and according to PMO sources, he is going ahead with the programme despite the terror strikes.
