In a post on X, Kharge said, "Extremely pained by the martyrdom of five Army personnel including two Captains and three Army Jawans who have made the supreme sacrifice fighting terrorists in Rajouri area of Jammu and Kashmir."
"Salutations to Captain MV Pranjal, Captain Shubham Gupta, Havildar Abdul Majid, Lance Naik Sanjay Bisht and Paratrooper Sachin Laur for they displayed indomitable courage and valour in fighting terrorists. In this hour of grief, our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones," he said.
