Srinagar, Dec 10 (KNS): Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday condemned the militant attack on a policy party that led to the killing of two policemen in Bandipora district today afternoon.

In a statement issued to KNS, Bukhari termed the attack as heart wrenching and barbaric. He said: “The senseless bloodshed has only destroyed the life of people in Kashmir. Forces inimical to peace will yield nothing through violence except for adding to the miseries of people.”

Bukhari reiterated that the acts of violence in any of its manifestations are detrimental to the interests of any civilized society and people should raise their voice against such inhuman and barbaric forces before it is too late.

“Killing two police personnel just after Friday congregational prayers is a blot on the face of those who condone such actions. No cause, how logical it may be, can justify such heinous crimes against humanity,” he remarked.

Bukhari extended his profound condolences to the bereaved families to bear this irretrievable loss and prayed for eternal peace to the departed souls. “The government should disburse adequate ex-gratia relief to the families of the slain cops and take every measure to rehabilitate their dependents.
