Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti
Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday, April 12, condemned the killing of two children in an attack on their house in Manipur, terming it horrific.
Suspected militants hurled a bomb at a house in Manipur‘s Bishnupur district on Tuesday last, leaving a 5-year-old boy and a six-month-old girl dead. The incident triggered protests in the state.
“The killing of two innocent children in Manipur by a military grade weapon is deeply condemnable & horrific,” the former chief minister said in a post on X.
Without naming anyone, she said the “pin drop silence” on the issue was more disturbing.
“More disturbing is the pin drop silence & inaction of those in power who prioritise political campaigns over basic human rights & justice. People are treated as expendables & wooed only during the time of elections
. In times of crisis their safety is conveniently discarded,” she added.This post was last modified on April 12, 2026 3:06 pm
