Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday condemned the abduction and murder of Army officer Ummer Fayaz by terrorists and said it is a dastardly act of cowardice.

"Abduction and murder of Lt Ummer Fayaz by terrorists in Shopian is a dastardly act of cowardice. This young officer from Jammu and Kashmir was a role model," Jaitley said in a series of tweets.

We share the grief of family of Fayaz and stand in solidarity. He will continue to inspire youth from the Valley," he said, adding, " Fayaz of 2 RAJRIF was an exceptional sportsman, his sacrifice reiterates nation's commitment to eliminate terrorism from the Valley."
