Mehbooba Mufti leads protest march against Pahalgam terror attack: 'This is an attack on all of us'

Srinagar:

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday led a protest march against the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed. Mufti, along with the Peoples Democratic Party workers, assembled at the party headquarters near Sher-e-Kashmir Park from where they began the protest march. Carrying placards that read "this is an attack on all of us", "killing innocents is an act of terror", and "stop innocent killings", the march ended at Lal Chowk city centre.

The attacks took place on Tuesday at the Baisaran meadows. It was one of the worst attacks on civilians in Kashmir in the last many years.

Mehbooba Mufti expressed remorse and said this attack is not only on the people but also on Kashmiriyat. She further requested Home Minister Amit Shah to punish the perpetrators.

Speaking to reporters, Mufti said, "This was an attack not just by the terrorists on the people but also on our Kashmiriyat and us. I request that the Union Home Minister investigate the perpetrators so that they can be brought to justice. We are ashamed that this incident happened in Kashmir, and we stand with those affected."
