Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said the government is determined to continue its fight against terrorism and their perpetrators in Jammu and Kashmir, which was yesterday rocked by multiple attacks, leaving 21people dead, including security personnel.   

Condemning the strikes as "cowardly", he said the sacrifices made by security personnel will not go in vain. "We (will) continue our fight against terror and their perpetrators," Parrikar tweeted late last night.   

"I condemn this cowardly act and assure that their(security personnel) sacrifice will not go in vain," he said. "I salute the soldiers and officers who sacrificed their lives while protecting our motherland," the minister said.
