Srinagar, Oct 05 (KNS): The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Party President, Member of Parliament from Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice President Mr. Omar Abdullah have condemned the brutal and dastardly killing of three civilians in Kashmir that took place within a span of few hours.

Condemning the heinous killings in unequivocal terms, Dr Farooq said “I’m extremely heartbroken to hear about the dastardly killing of noted businessman ML Bindroo ji, Mohammad Shafi Lone of Naidkhai Bandipora and a non local Virender Paswan. The heart wrenching mindless violence has saddened me. Such barbarism should be denounced downrightly at all levels. There is no humanity found in those who have orchestrated the blood bath. Yet another childhood has been lost. Yet another family has to live in pain for perpetuity. There is no humanity to be found within those who perpetrate such heinous acts of inhuman, outrageous, and thunderous violence,” he said.

“The targeted attacks that took place within a few hours have devoured three precious lives. No sympathies can assuage the families who have lost their loved ones and no one could even remotely empathize with the calamity that has befallen the victim’s families. I pray for strength to them at this difficult time. I share in their grief and sorrow,” he said.

While condemning the brutal killings, Omar said that no words are strong enough to condemn the dastardly acts of violence. “Such deplorable acts only leave behind a trail of pain and suffering. No amount of condemnation is enough to censure such acts of violence. Even the words of condemnation after such attacks sound hollow. This is the handiwork of enemies of peace and humanity. May all those who have fallen prey to the wanton act of barbarism find eternal peace. I also pray for fortitude to bereaved families to bear the inconsolable loss,” he said. 

Among others party General secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, Additional general secretary Dr Sheikh Mustufa Kamal, provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani, Party MPs Muhammad Akbar Lone , Hasnain Masoodi, Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar have condemned the killings unsparingly and in strongest possible terms. They also prayed for peace to the deceased and much needed strength to the bereaved families to bear the loss. (KNS)
