Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Thursday blamed Pakistan for the deadly attack on CRPF men in Srinagar, as all regional parties, including the National Conference and People’s Democratic Party (PDP), joined the condemnation.
“I strongly condemned the terrorist attack. The forces responsible for insurgency in J&K are desperate and frustrated and want to prove their presence. Visibly, it seems to be guided from across the border as Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has claimed the responsibility,” said Mr. Malik.
He said such actions will not deter the resolve of the security forces. The Governor directed security forces’ commanders “to enhance surveillance and review the security management of all important installations and establishments”.
Farooq, Omar, Mehbooba condemn
National Conference president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah, in a joint statement, condemned the attack and termed it “dastardly and brutal”.
“The incident is disturbing and reminiscent of the nineties,” they said.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said there were no words enough to condemn the gruesome terror attack. “How many more lives will be snuffed out before this madness ends?” she added.
People’s Conference chief Sajad Gani Lone termed it “cowardly terror attack”. “I am deeply disturbed by this senseless act of violence. My heart goes out for the families of soldiers killed in the attack and pray for speedy recovery of the injured soldiers.”
