Attack on students has exposed supporters of stone-pelters: J-K BJP

The Jammu and Kashmir BJP today condemned the attack on a school bus in which a class 2 boy was injured, saying it has exposed all those who have been supporting stone-pelters.

The school bus carrying 35 students was attacked by stone- pelters in militant-infested Shopian district of south Kashmir yesterday morning.

"Stone-pelting and targeting small, innocent school children is a heinous crime beyond any scope of pardon or justification. We condemn it. The act has exposed all those who have been supporting the pelters," J-K BJP in-charge Avinash Rai Khanna said.

He stressed upon the state government, the police and other law enforcing agencies to identify the culprits and give harsh punishment so that justice was done with small kids, who have nothing to do with the stone-pelters.

He further said they have crossed all limits of human values and are now blindly pursuing what their masters are telling them to do.

Khanna said, "The incident is also an eye opener for those who always point fingers towards security forces, who are otherwise soft targets of these frustrated stone-pelters."
