Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh, a BJP employee and former sarpanch, was assassinated by ultras in Shopian district on Saturday, while two tourists from Jaipur, Farha and Tabrez, were hurt in gunfire from terrorists at Pahalgam in the Anantnag area, per a PTI report.
"Very sorry to hear about the twin militant attacks in South Kashmir against tourists & a political worker of the BJP. I unequivocally condemn these deadly attacks. My condolences to the family of Aijaz Ahmed. May Allah grant him a place in Jannt. I also pray that Tabrez & Farah, from Jaipur in Rajasthan, make a complete recovery," Abdullah said on X.
Attacks on consecutive days occurred during the Anantnag-Rajouri seat parliamentary election campaign.
Monday is the polling day for the fifth round of the seven-phase general elections in the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat.
May 7 was the original date for the Anantnag seat polling, but it was postponed due to concerns expressed by some Jammu and Kashmir political parties regarding the weather. May 25 will now be the date of voting.
