Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday strongly condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal and said that such targeted violence cannot deter India from building key infrastructure projects in the Union Territory.
On social media handle X, Kharge said, “We strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal, where several construction workers and a doctor have been killed.”
“This inhumane and despicable act of targeted violence shall not deter India from building key infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir. As a nation, we are together in our fight against terrorism. Our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. We wish the injured a speedy recovery,” Kharge said.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi, while condemning the terror attack, said, “This audacity of terrorists will never be able to break the order of construction in Jammu and Kashmir and the faith of the people.”
He said, “The killing of many people, including a doctor and migrant labourers, in the terrorist attack in Ganderbal, Jammu and Kashmir, is a very cowardly and unforgivable crime. I express my deepest condolences to all the bereaved families and hope for the speedy recovery of the injured.”
“This audacity of terrorists will never be able to break the order of construction in Jammu and Kashmir and the faith of the people. The whole country is united in this fight against terrorism,” the former Congress president said.
It may be mentioned that seven employees of an infrastructure firm, including a Kashmiri doctor, were killed and five others injured on Sunday evening in a terror attack on a workers’ camp near the tourist resort of Sonamarg on the strategic Srinagar-Leh highway.
