"How can a Kashmiri think of attacking tourists who are the backbone of their economy. Someone is trying to bring bad name to the Kashmiri people. Hurriyat is ready to cooperate with India and Pakistan to bring the truth before the people.

Mehbooba Mufti said that this is one of the deadiest attacks in recent times. "This is something beyond words. Hapless tourists who have flocking the valley and giving the economy of the state a boost have been deliberately targetted by miscreants with a definite intention to scare them from visiting the state. This is not a good sign. We are worried about these developments," she said.
