Srinagar, Nov 11 (PTI) PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur and Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Sat Sharma on Wednesday condemned the terror attack on CRPF personnel in Kulgam district, in which three jawans were injured, calling it an attempt to disturb peace and stability in the region.
Mufti, a former chief minister, said such acts of violence were unacceptable and deserved unequivocal condemnation.
Two terrorists on a motorcycle opened fire at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) checkpost in Kulgam on Wednesday, injuring three CRPF personnel, one of them critically, officials said. Security forces have launched a massive search for the attackers who sped away.
The attack took place around 2.15 pm near Mir Bazar, about 75 km from here and just a kilometre away from the heavily-guarded Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
“JKPDP President Mehbooba Mufti strongly condemns the attack on CRPF personnel in Kulgam. Such acts of violence are unacceptable and deserve unequivocal condemnation,” the PDP said in a post on X.
She wished the injured personnel a speedy and complete recovery.
“There can be no place for violence in a society that yearns for lasting peace, stability and dignity,” she added.
Thakur, in a statement, described the incident as highly unfortunate and said it was an attempt to disturb peace and stability in the region.
He expressed solidarity with the security personnel, saying any attack on forces deployed to maintain peace and protect people was condemnable and unacceptable.
Thakur called on the Jammu and Kashmir Police to conduct a thorough investigation, identify the perpetrators and bring those involved to justice without delay.
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir want peace, development and stability. Such acts of violence are aimed at creating fear and disturbing the peaceful atmosphere. Those responsible must be identified and dealt with firmly under the law,” he said.
JK BJP president and MP Sat Sharma strongly condemned the attack, asserting that terrorism and its sponsors would face an uncompromising response from India.
He accused Pakistan of resorting to terrorism to divert the attention of the international community from its failures and mounting internal crises, saying such attempts would neither weaken India’s resolve nor intimidate its people.
“We condemn it. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there would be no tolerance for terrorism, no safe haven for terrorists and no escape for those threatening innocent lives,” Sharma said.
He asserted that the security forces were determined and capable of eliminating terrorists and dismantling their networks to ensure the safety of citizens.
Anyone daring to target innocent Indians would face the full strength of India’s security response, he said on the sidelines of an organisational meeting at the BJP headquarters in Jammu’s Trikuta Nagar.
Party office-bearers, district presidents, morcha presidents and representatives of various cells, media, social media and IT teams also participated in the meeting. PTI MIJ AB NB
