The perpetrators of the suicide attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, that killed at least 37 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel will not go unpunished, said Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
Talking to the media at Madurai airport here on Friday, Mr. Prasad said that the sacrifice of the CRPF jawans will not go in vain.
"There will be an appropriate and suitable response as may be strategically decided," he said.
Stating that the entire world has condemned the dastardly attack, Mr. Prasad said that Pakistan now stood isolated.
"Those who perpetrated, supported and patronised this heinous attack would not go unpunished," he said.
Mr. Prasad, who was scheduled to participate in a series of events in Madurai, cancelled all the programmes as a mark of mourning.
