In a series of tweets, he said, “Anguished to learn about the killing of BJP karyakarta, Shabir Ahmad Bhat by terrorists in Pulwama (J&K). This act of cowardice is highly condemnable.

He further added that the sacrifices of the BJP workers will not go in vain and said that the entire BJP is behind Shabir Ahmad Bhat’s family in the hour of grief.
The sacrifice of our @BJP4JnK karyakartas will not go in vain. Entire BJP stands firmly with Shabir Ahmad Bhat’s family in this hour of grief. My deepest condolences. May god give his family the strength to bear this tragic loss.

BJP state spokesman Altaf Thakur accused terrorists of killing Shabir Ahmad Bhat. He said, “He (Bhat) was our constituency president and dedicated leader. He had gone to his home to celebrate Eid with his family, but was abducted by militants and then killed.”
This is not the first time that the Islamic terrorists in Kashmir have attacked BJP leaders. Last year, the terrorists had killed Gowhar Ahmed Bhat 30-year-old youth wing leader by slitting his throat in Shopian district.
