The BJYM, in a statement, termed the attack on the youth leader "cowardly" and said that terrorists cannot stop the youth of Kashmir from choosingprosperity and development over hatred and terror.
It said that Mahajan had spoken to Ahmed's family and expressed solidarity on behalf of the BJP and its youth wing, the BJYM.
She met Rijiju, the minister of state for home affairs who assured the security of BJYM activists and leaders in the state.
"The minister also assured Poonam Mahajan that the murderers of Gowher Ahmed won't be spared and would be dealt most severely", the statement said.
