Mehbooba Mufti condemns killing of Kashmiri Army officer
“It is painful to note that the young officer had come home on vacation where he was attending the marriage of his cousin and was
killed by unknown gunmen” the official spokesman of the Chief Minister office said.
Mehbooba Mufti has conveyed her heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family of Lt. Umar and prayed for his eternal solace, the spokesman added.
Earlier, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley called the killing of the 22-year-old Army officer an "act of cowardice", adding that the sacrifice reiterates nation's commitment to eliminate "terrorism".
