He said that all countrymen should strongly condemn the act of terrorism and should stand united to fight the menace of terrorism.

Although the Union government has been claiming that normality has returned to Jammu and Kashmir, but attacks on civilians and the army in the region have continued. At least now, the government should take effective steps to restore normality in the valley, he demanded.

SFI district president Durugappa Yammi said that in this time of crisis, people of the country should stand united in the fight against terrorism. Any attempt by communal forces to misutilise the terror attack should also be condemned, he said.

Earlier, staging the protest, the students paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the attack by observing silence.

Similar protests were held in other districts and statements condemning the incident were issued by office-bearers of various organisations.
