Such cowardly attacks cannot be tolerated in any situation. Those who are involved in terrorism should know that such inhuman acts cannot break India’s unity. My heartfelt condolences are with the families of the deceased and I pray to God to give them strength.”
It is worth noting that seven people, including a doctor, were killed by terrorists in Ganderbal district’s Gagan Gir area on Sunday night.
