To lodge strongest protest against the “dastardly” attack, Punjab Animal Husbandry and Labour Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu cancelled his scheduled visit to attend International Buffalo Congress at Lahore.
“I was going to take part the International Buffalo Congress which is being organized by the University of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Lahore, from February18 to 20. This Congress was to be attended by the representatives from different countries,” he said.
He said that he was slated to go to Pakistan with the progressive farmers of the state to attend this International congress. “The gruesome attack on CRPF convoy has shaken me emotionally and in order to show my solidarity with the families of the Jawans who lost their lives, I have decided to cancel my visit to Pakistan,” he said.
The Minister said that whole nation is standing rock-solid with the security forces and the nefarious acts of the terrorist to disturb the country's unity and integrity would be exposed with iron hand.
