"We demand that Pakistan should be declared as a terrorist state. Pakistan and its militants are attacking security forces and creating unrest in Kashmir.
They are responsible for terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir," JKNPP Chairman Harsh Dev Singh told reporters.
Dubbing the neighbouring country as a "threat to the peace in South Asian region", JKNNP leader castigated Pakistan for pushing fidayeens' to carry out terror attacks on the security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir, besides "endorsing support to secessionists in the Valley".
Singh lambasted Pakistan for its "malicious and mischievous" designs in sponsoring militant attacks on defence installions in the state and abetting terror attacks across the country.
Condemning the attack on the Army Brigade headquarters in Uri, he accused Pakistan for "pushing militants into our territory to vitiate peace and harmony in the state and the country".
The JKNPP leader said Pakistan's "notoriety" had now assumed "alarming proportions" as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had on the eve of Eid announced "to continue its support to secessionists and other disruptive forces in Kashmir".
Singh said the statement was followed by the most "cowardly and deadliest" terror attack on the Indian Army in last two decades and unveiled the "nefarious designs of the belligerent neighbour to destabilise India".
He alleged Pakistan has not been "mending ways" despite repeated warnings at appropriate forums and held the "rogue country responsible for the ongoing mayhem in Kashmir which had left thousands of security personnel injured".
Singh said it was high time that India should launch a "full throttle campaign" against Pakistan at international level for latter's interference in India's internal matters.
