New Delhi, Sept 18 (IBNS): President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said India will not be cowed down by attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri area which left 17 jawans martyred.

"Heartfelt condolences to families of those bereaved in Uri terrorist attack; prayers for speedy recovery of injured #PresidentMukherjee," he said.

"India will not be cowed down by such attacks, we will thwart the evil designs of terrorists and their backers #PresidentMukherjee," the President said.

The state of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday witnessed one of the deadliest attacks in a decade's time when four heavily armed terrorists sneaked into the 12 Brigade Army camp in Uri sector, leaving 17 jawans killed.
