Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje Friday condemned the Pulwama terror attack that claimed the lives of at least 40 CRPF personnel.
Offering his condolences, Gehlot prayed for the departed souls and strength to the bereaved families, an official said.
The veteran Congress leader also wished early recovery to those injured in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a Jaish suicide bomber rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into a CRPF bus on Thursday.
Gehlot said the gruesome assault was a cowardly act and highly condemnable.
Such incidents would not lower the country's commitment to fight against terrorism, he added.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vasundhara Raje in a tweet said: "Your martyrdom has filled tears in everyone's eyes but your bravery, valour and sacrifice has made every Indian proud."
