Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference working president has condemned the killing of class 11 students by militants in southern Kashmir’s Shopian district and termed it deeply disturbing.

The cold blooded murder of an 11th standard student by the Hizbul Mujahideen terror outfit is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for this act & should force those who sympathise with these outfits to question how these murders make Kashmir a better, freer place.
