WASHINGTON: Two co-chairs of the Senate India Caucus, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have strongly condemned the Uri terror attack and said they will work within the US Congress to put pressure on Pakistan to end any association with terror groups targeting India, reports IANS.
Republican John Cornyn and Democrat Mark Warner of the Senate India Caucus, the only country-specific caucus in the US Senate, said in their letter on Thursday that they are greatly concerned about initial indications that the perpetrators of the September 18 Uri attack "were Pakistani and that the attack emanated from Pakistan".
"If true, this attack would be just the latest in a series of deadly attacks in India conducted by Pakistan-based terrorist groups." They called on Pakistan to cooperate fully and transparently in the probe and prosecute those "within its territory that participated in this horrendous attack".
