War has long-term effect but Cong stands with govt in its decision: J-K Cong chief

SRINAGAR: (May 6) Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra on Tuesday said an India-Pakistan war can have long-term consequences but his party stands firmly with the government on any action it chooses to take against the Pahalgam massacre perpetrators.

His comments come amid the Centre asking several states to conduct mock drills on May 7 amid rising tensions with Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in the verdant meadows of Baisaran that left 26 dead.
