Chief Minister JK condemns Kashmir attack

Srinagar, June 25: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said the militant attack on CRPF personnel at Pampore was aimed at subverting the peace and development initiatives launched by the government. “The only purpose of such blood-spattered acts of violence is to add to the tragedies and miseries of the people and subvert the government's efforts aimed at bringing permanent peace and prosperity to Jammu and Kashmir,” the Chief Minister said in a statement condemning the attack. Mehbooba said elements inimical to the interests of the state had always tried to derail peace efforts and the latest militant strike was aimed at the same. “I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones in today's dastardly attack,” she said.
