The members expressed their deep condolences to the family of the deceased.
Inspite of the fact that terrorists have been actively pursued and eliminated during the past few years, they keep indulging in one off attacks to show their presence otherwise their handlers across the border would stop funding them, KPS president K K Khosa said.
“The significance of each such incident gets highlighted during elections because the focus of the nation is on Kashmir where parliamentary elections are being held without the shadow of the gun looming over the land after decades,” he said.
The Sabha executive committee and it’s President K K Khosa congratulated the common Kashmiris for showing so much exuberance and excitement in participating in the parliamentary polls thereby giving a clear message that they want peace and tranquility to return to the Valley.
Security will have to be further strengthened in view of the elections followed by the yatras both Kheerbhawani and Shree Amarnath and then the assembly elections.
The members appealed the voters to give a befitting reply to the antinational forces of violence and destabilization by coming out in large numbers to cast their votes in this crucial election.
