Condemning "targeted killings" of innocent people in Jammu and Kashmir, the external affairs ministry on Thursday said these killings highlighted its concerns over cross-border terrorism.
"We strongly condemn it. Innocent people are being killed. It is targeted killing. We are worried about cross border terrorism. We keep discussing the issue of cross-border terrorism with our partners," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a media briefing.
