Srinagar: Mirwaiz condemns attack on Kashmir-bound passenger bus in Indian State of Haryana
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, various political leaders have condemned an attack on a passenger bus travelling from the Indian state of Haryana to Srinagar, demanding strict action against those involved.
All Parties Hurriyat Conference senior leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq expressed concern over the attack in a post on X, formerly Twitter, noting that an elderly passenger was injured, while the other passengers were left in a state of severe shock, fear and terror.
He said, “Saddened to learn about the attack on a Kashmir-bound bus in Haryana, in which an elderly passenger was injured. There is growing concern among the public regarding reports of threats directed at vehicles registered in Jammu and Kashmir. Authorities must ensure the safety of Kashmiri travelers and take immediate, stringent legal action against those responsible.”
Inam Nabi, a spokesperson for the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), wrote a letter to Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, demanding the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), the arrest of those responsible and compensation for the damage caused to the bus.
It should be noted that unidentified individuals attacked a passenger bus bound for Srinagar in the Indian state of Haryana, which is currently governed by the BJP. The bus was carrying approximately 40 people when the assailants pelted it with stones and bricks. An elderly Kashmiri passenger sustained injuries in the incident, while the other passengers were gripped by intense fear and panic.
