"It is profoundly distressing to witness yet another instance of non-local workers falling victim to senseless brutality. One has lost his life, while the other remains critically wounded. These poor workers were here just to earn a livelihood for their families back in Punjab. Such incidents are deeply troubling and merit unequivocal condemnation by one and all in the strongest possible terms. I urge our security agencies to apprehend these terrorists as soon as possible so that they face the law of the land," Apni Party chief ALtaf Bukhari wrote on X.
