National Conference President Farooq Abdullah today said that if the terrorists neutralized in an encounter with security forces on the outskirts of Srinagar yesterday were indeed the same individuals responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack, it sends a strong message that terrorism will never succeed.
Dr Abdullah was responding to a question from reporters regarding Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in Parliament that the three terrorists killed in Srinagar yesterday were involved in the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
“I have not seen them. I do not know who they were. Only those who have seen them can identify who they were. If they were really the same terrorists, then it is a very good thing. It is a good thing that they have learned that terrorists can never be successful,” Abdullah said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said the three terrorists killed in gunbattle in Srinagar yesterday were identified as Suleiman alias Faisal, Afghan and Jibran and said they were behind the Pahalgam terror attack.
