Jammu, June 09: Apni Party president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has strongly condemned the terror attack on a bus that was carrying pilgrims of Shiv Khori in Reasi district.
In a statement issued here, Bukhari said that the terror attack on innocent pilgrims was an attempt to sow the seed of discord among the communities to destabilize the peaceful situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

He demanded ex-gratia in favour of the next of kin of the deceased pilgrims, whereas the injured pilgrims should be provided the best medical treatment.
