SRINAGAR: Three politicians from India’s ruling party were shot dead in occupied Kashmir late on Thursday.
Militants fired at the three members of Bharatiya Janata Party in Kulgam district, police said in a statement. The three were taken to a hospital, where they died, it said.
The party says they were members of the BJP’s youth wing and one was general secretary of the party’s Kulgam district.
In a tweet, the BJP condemned the killings, calling them a barbaric terror attack. Those who are responsible for this will not be spared, it said.
Government forces launched a search for the shooters, police said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.

And innocent Kashmiris are killed daily and they get no justice. What kind of country is this. One country two systems?

'Government forces launched a search for the shooters, police said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack.'
