Srinagar: Protests were held at several places in Kashmir on Monday against the killing of seven persons in a terrorist attack in Ganderbal district, officials said.
A candlelight vigil was also held at Pulwama as a tribute to the seven victims – one local doctor and six non-local labourers — of the terror attacks at Gagangir in Ganderbal district on Sunday night, the officials said.
The biggest protest march was held at Pulwama where youth held placards demanding an end to the bloodshed of innocent people. They also demanded justice for the victims of the terror attack.
The protestors were carrying a huge banner which read ‘Pulwama Stands Against Terrorism’.
A similar protest was also held at Ghanta Ghar in Kulgam town.
In Jammu, members of the Shiv Sena Dogra Front and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal burned Pakistani flags in protest against the killings amid slogans against the neighbouring country.
The protesters demanded that the terrorists involved in the fatal attack be eliminated at the earliest to restore confidence among the people.
Blaming Pakistan squarely for the attack, the agitators claimed it was the fallout of the frustration among the terrorists after the peaceful Assembly elections and the formation of an elected government in Jammu and Kashmir.
