Srinagar, April 22 (JKNS): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said he is flying back to Srinagar after what he called an “abomination” of an attack on tourists in Pahalgam.
In a post on X, as accessed by news agency JKNS, Omar said: “I’m shocked beyond belief. This attack on our visitors is an abomination. The perpetrators of this attack are animals, inhuman & worthy of contempt. No words of condemnation are enough. I send my sympathies to the families of the deceased.”
He added that he has spoken to his party colleague Sakina Itoo, who has rushed to the hospital to oversee arrangements for the injured.
“The death toll is still being ascertained so I don’t want to get into those details. They will be officially conveyed as the situation becomes clearer. Needless to say this attack is much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years,” he wrote. (JKNS)
