Mehbooba condemns killing of two children
|
Srinagar, Apr 12
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday condemned the killing of two children in an attack on their house in Manipur, terming it horrific.
Suspected militants hurled a bomb at a house in Manipur’s Bishnupur district on Tuesday last, leaving a 5-year-old boy and a six-month-old girl dead.
The incident triggered protests in the State.
“The killing of two innocent children in Manipur by a military grade weapon is deeply condemnable & horrific,” the former Chief Minister said in a post on X.
Without naming anyone, she said the “pin drop silence” on the issue was more disturbing.
“More disturbing is the pin drop silence & inaction of those in power who prioritise political campaigns over basic human rights & justice. People are treated as expendables & wooed only during the time of elections. In times of crisis their safety is conveniently discarded,” she added. PTI
