Union Minister Amit Shah has condemned the gruesome terrorist attack on a bus full of pilgrims in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir this evening in which at least nine people were killed and 33 others injured.

Those behind the “insidious attack will not be spared and will have to face the rigour of the law,” the third-term Union minister said in a post on X, adding, “The local administration is working on a war footing to provide immediate medical assistance.”

“I am deeply shocked by the incident of attack on the pilgrims in Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir. I have spoken to the Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General of Jammu and Kashmir and enquired about the incident. The perpetrators of this heinous attack will not be spared and will have to face the punishment of law. The local administration is working on a war footing to provide immediate medical assistance. May Almighty grant the kin of the deceased the strength to bear this pain. I also pray for speedy recovery of the injured,” he wrote.

The bus carrying pilgrims from the Shiv Khori Temple went off the road after the driver lost control in the face of the terrorists’ use of firearms and fell into a deep ravine.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi also described the attack as “cowardly” and wrote: “The cowardly terrorist attack on a bus carrying pilgrims from Shivkhodi Temple in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir is extremely sad. This shameful incident reflects the true state of the worrying security situation in Jammu and Kashmir.”

“I express my deepest condolences to all the bereaved and hope for a speedy recovery for the injured. The whole country stands united against terrorism,” he added.

In a post, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra mourned the victims of the attack and wrote: “The cowardly terrorist attack on a bus full of pilgrims in Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir is extremely sad and reprehensible. Terrorism is a violent act against humanity against which the entire country stands in solidarity.”

“I pray for peace for all those who died and a speedy recovery for the injured. My deepest condolences go out to the grieving families,” she added.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge “unequivocally” condemned the terrorist attack on “our people”.

“We strongly condemn this cruel terrorist attack on our people and the deliberate insult to our national security. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish and pray for a speedy recovery of the injured. The government and authorities should provide immediate assistance and compensation to the victims,” ​​he said.

The attack marks a significant escalation of violence in the region. Reasi district has been relatively spared from terrorist activities compared to the neighboring districts of Rajouri and Poonch.
