. "Jammu and Kashmir has always been worst victim of Indo-Pak hostility and its people have been paying a colossal price for same for past over 6 decades," Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said.
"Heartfelt condolences to bereaved families and also pray for early recovery of those injured in the attack," the chief minister. "Strongly condemn Uri attack. Attack seems to be aimed at triggering fresh violence and creating a war-like situation in the region," she stated.
After high level meeting with senior officers, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, tweeted "I am deeply disappointed with Pakistan's continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups." "There are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped.

Deeply distressed at the terror incident in Uri and the loss of 17 brave soldiers martyred. I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured," he added.

I have apprised the PM Shri @narendramodi regarding the deliberations of the security review meeting held at my residence this afternoon
"Cong. concerned over deteriorating law and order
"Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha M. Mallikarjun Kharge has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the Kashmir valley and the increasing civilian toll and also of the security forces in the conflict between the security agencies and the general public.
""Despite the solid support and cooperation extended by the Opposition parties to the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre to find a amicable solution to the conflict in Kashmir, the Union government has failed to restore normality in the troubled valley," Mr. Kharge said.
"Talking to a national daily on Sunday, Mr. Kharge said that there was an effective mechanism to avert cross-border terrorism by Pakistan and counter the Pakistan-instigated violence in the valley.
"The Union government should immediately open the doors of dialogue with all groups in the valley and the people of the Kashmir should be taken into confidence. "In the interest of the nation, Kashmir in particular, there is an urgent need for ushering in normality in the valley," he added.
"On the Arunchal Pradesh episode where a majority of Congress MLAs deserted the party and joined the People's Party of Arunachal, which is part of the North Eastern Democratic Alliance, the north eastern chapter of the NDA, Mr. Kharge alleged that this was the larger part of the BJP agenda to topple the Congress-led governments in the North Eastern States by blackmail and coercion.
"Kharge expressed shock and condemned the brazen attack on an army camp in Uri near the Line of Control (LoC) in the early hours of Sunday killing 17 soldiers and injuring several others.
"Mr. Kharge paid his tributes to the valiant soldiers who laid down their life in the defence of the country and said that such attacks by the militants and infiltrators from Pakistan should not be tolerated any more.
The Union government should act appropriately and give a fitting reply to such brazen attacks on the army and its installations.
