Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Wednesday dubbed the militant attack on a BSF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur District as a worrying development.
"An attack on this stretch of the NH after a very long time. Worrying development because area was militant free," Omar tweeted.
"Anyone who still thinks that the Modi-Mufti accord is the best thing for J-K since sliced bread needs to wake up and smell the coffee," he added.
Two BSF jawans and a militant were killed while eight others injured when militants attacked a convoy of the BSF on Jammu-Srinagar highway near Samroli in Udhampur district today early morning.
The three hostages have also been rescued and one terrorist has been caught alive.
The attack is allegedly the first in the district in over a decade.
