The United State have already agreed the attack on Indian Army base in Uri was a terror attack and has condemned the same.

According to the Indian Army, it had carried out surgical strikes on terrorist camps in the night between September 28-29 and destroyed seven launchpads of the terrorists. Army added that all these terrorists were in efforts to infiltrate into the Indian territory to carry terror activities.

The Indian-American community had raised a petition under ‘We The People’ initiative started by the Obama Administration to declare Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism, earlier. The petition has got humongous response. Over 410,00 people have already signed the petition and the organizers of the petition are expecting the signatures from over a million people.
