J& K Terrorist Attack Condemned

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) issued the following statement on May 26, 2006.

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns  the vicious terrorist attack on  tourists in Jammu & Kashmir  on May 25, 2006.  Four persons, including a child, were killed due to grenade explosion in the bus they were travelling  in Batapora near Hazratbal. 

 

The spate of grenade attacks around Srinagar is continuing and now innocent civilians and tourists are being targeted.  The state government and the administration have been unable to take effective steps so far to check these attacks.  It is essential that the Central government provide all necessary assistance, so that the security forces can identify and crackdown on the terrorist network.
