West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday strongly condemned the terrorist attack that killed seven Amarnath Yatris, saying terrorism was unacceptable anywhere in the world.
"Strongly condemn the attack on Amarnath yatris and the police. Terrorism unacceptable anywhere in the world," Banerjee tweeted.
Fourteen others, including policemen, were injured when the terrorists struck at a bus carrying them in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantang district.
The bus was attacked in Batengoo around 8.20 p.m. while returning from Baltal to Mir Bazar after darshan, said J&K police and CRPF.
The militants also carried out two attacks on security forces in the area.
