Apni Party expresses solidarity with families of slain cops

Jammu, February 19:

Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday strongly condemned the Bhagat-Srinagar attack in which two policemen Suhail Ahmad and Mohammad Yusuf were killed in cold blood.

In a statement issued here, Bukhari termed the attack as barbaric and inhuman. “Violence is not a solution but a huge impediment in peace and progress of any society. In any of its manifestations, violent extremism is unacceptable, regardless of political, ideological or religious motivations,” Bukhari added.

He observed that it is highly unfortunate and heart-wrenching that Kashmir continues to lose precious lives to senseless violence which has only aggravated the sufferings of the people over the years.

“The attackers have no respect for human lives and are only adding to the tragedies of the ill-fated families which must be condemned by one and all,” he added, while extending heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Bukhari prayed for eternal peace to the departed souls and courage to their families to bear this irretrievable loss.
