There was widespread support for India's concerns over Pakistan sponsored terrorism on Indian soil, they said.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday when a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber blew a vehicle carrying over 60 kg of explosives near their bus.
