PM condemns Kashmir attacks

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday condemned the attacks in Jammu and Kashmir in which 21 people were killed.

"Attacks in Jammu and Kashmir are condemnable. They are desperate attempts to derail the atmosphere of hope and goodwill as seen by increased voter turnout," the prime minister tweeted.

A total of 21 people, including eight army men, were killed and at least 10 injured Friday in a string of brazen militant strikes, days ahead of Modi's rally here for the staggered assembly elections.
