The incident is unfortunate – Omar Abdullah brought to the attention of Haryana Sarkar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed deep sorrow over this attack incident. "Such unfortunate incidents should not happen under any circumstances. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's government and the police should arrest the accused immediately and take strict action. Adequate security measures should be taken to prevent recurrence of such incidents in the future," he urged on 'X' (Twitter).
The Jammu and Kashmir CMO officials consulted with the Haryana government and inquired about the safety of the passengers, and the Haryana administration promised to take strict action as per the law. Strong condemnation by political parties: The attack was condemned with open arms by leaders of National Conference (NC), PDP and BJP. The leaders made it clear that it is not appropriate to target Kashmiri travelers on the basis of regional identity alone, and that citizens in any part of the country have an obligation to provide equal respect and security. They demanded a thorough investigation into the incident and strict legal action against those responsible.
