"It is unfortunate that even after several years of Independence, such matters (terrorism) concern us. This is not about the ruling and the Opposition but about the security of the country. Why don't we make a strategy to secure our borders once and for all? However, the Pahalgam incident has proved that negligence can claim innocent lives," he said.
