Omar Abdullah commented on Instagram, “A terrorist attack on a bus in Jammu and Kashmir killed ten passengers and injured many more.” I strongly deplore this attack. It’s awful to see neighborhoods that were formerly free of extremists. Militant activity has returned. May the dead rest in peace, and the injured recover quickly.”
