Koul also said he is confident that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win more than 50 seats in Jammu and Kashmir whenever the Assembly polls are held in the Union Territory.

Talking to reporters after a party function here, the BJP leader said, “I am confident that our administration will throw out the elements who carry out such incidents and bring them to justice. We condemn the targeted killings, which will be ended soon by the administration, and the forces that carry out such attacks will not be seen any longer.” He said the killing of retired superintendent of police Mohammad Shafi Mir while he was calling for “azaan” on Sunday morning cannot be tolerated in any religion.
