Expressing her condolences, she said her heart goes out to the bereaved families. The Congress too condemned the killings and described the incident as "shocking". The party also blamed the Centre for "miserably failing" to ensure congenial atmosphere in the Valley, which has led to an "extremely volatile" situation.
