In a statement issued here, Advocate Reshi said that such barbaric acts of terror are an affront to humanity and peace.
“Words are not enough to condemn such heinous and blood-soaked acts of terror. These blasts are not merely an attack on innocent lives but also a grave assault on the principles of humanity and harmony, he said.
Reshi extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured. “In this hour of grief, the entire nation stands united against the menace of terrorism, “he added.
He observed that such mindless violence is aimed at disturbing the atmosphere of peace and communal harmony that forms the foundation of India’s diverse social fabric. He expressed confidence that the perpetrators of the attack would soon be brought to justice.
Lauding the swift and courageous response of the security forces and emergency services, Reshi said their timely action helped avert further casualties.
