Eleven personnel of the border guarding force have been injured in the attack.
"Ghulam Nabi Azad has strongly condemned the attack by Pakistani militants," a press release issued by his office said.
A suspected Pakistani terrorist was caught alive after militants today attacked the BSF convoy near Simroli, Udhampur on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway.
"I congratulate the local police and Village Defence Committee members for their exemplary courage to nab one militant alive. This amply indicates the people are no more ready to bear such cowardly acts," said Azad.
"I am deeply shocked to learn that heartless militants do not spare even young children studying in educational institutions," said Azad, who is also Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
