According to a PTI report, leader of the National Conference Omar Abdullah denounced on Sunday the twin terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian and Anantnag districts that resulted in the death of a BJP worker and the injuries of a Rajasthani tourist couple.
Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh, a BJP employee and former sarpanch, was assassinated by ultras in Shopian district on Saturday, while two tourists from Jaipur, Farha and Tabrez, were hurt in gunfire from terrorists at Pahalgam in the Anantnag area, per a PTI report.
"Very sorry to hear about the twin militant attacks in South Kashmir against tourists & a political worker of the BJP. I unequivocally condemn these deadly attacks. My condolences to the family of Aijaz Ahmed. May Allah grant him a place in Jannt. I also pray that Tabrez & Farah, from Jaipur in Rajasthan, make a complete recovery," Abdullah said on X.
Attacks on consecutive days occurred during the Anantnag-Rajouri seat parliamentary election campaign.
