Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, on Friday, urged the Centre to take strict action over the recent killings in Kashmir.
Amid recent targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, urged the Central government to take strict action against the incidents and the people behind such attacks.
The BSP chief noted that the recent attacks in Kashmir had created an atmosphere of panic in the region and called it "worrisome".
"Innocent people are being killed every day in Jammu and Kashmir. Recently, there was the murder of a resident of Rajasthan and a bank manager; very sad and also worrying. Due to this, there is an atmosphere of panic. The Central government should take strict action against such guilty elements, this is the demand of the BSP," Mayawati tweeted.
In a recent terror attack, a bank manager, identified as Vijay Kumar, was shot dead by terrorists in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. He was shot right outside his office. The incident occurred at the Ellaquai Dehati Bank at Areh Mohanpora in Kulgam.
The Resistance Front, a shadow outfit of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
A couple of days ago, a 36-year-old Hindu woman teacher, Rajni Bala, hailing from Jammu's Samba district, was shot dead by terrorists at a government school in Gopalpora, Kulgam. Over the last two months, two civilians, including Kashmiri Pandit employee Rahul Bhat and three off-duty policemen were killed in Kashmir by terrorists.
