Earlier, Abdullah has expressed concern over the attack saying that such an attack on this stretch of the Jammu-Srinagar Highway was a worrying development because the area was militant free.

Omar’s father and another former CM of Jammu and Kashmir Farooq Abdullah also said that Pakistan was involved in such attacks and India should definately issue a strong warning to Pakistan.
