The bombing and demolition of militants damaged several other buildings, triggering widespread reactions from political parties, saying that “the Kashmiris should not be given collective punishment.” It will “further alienate the population.” The Pahargam attacks have killed 26 people in the past two days, including the local Mawara, and the houses of at least eight militants have been demolished in the past two days.“They could have had JCB to demolish Ahsan’s house, what were the sins of the other 10-15 houses damaged, and 50 windows and doors were shattered by two explosions on Friday night,” said Ashiq Hussain of Murran, Pulwama, said. “The troops demolished Ahsan Ul Haq Sheikh’s house, an active Miletant. The explosion has damaged six houses here, including the newly built Abdul Rashid Thokar, which is scheduled to be held on May 10. Ali Muhammad Thokar said.
“The Kashmiris openly oppose terrorism…it’s time to build on this support and avoid any action that alienates people,” said J&K CM Omar Abdullah.
“I urge the authorities to seek justice for innocent victims, rather than punishing innocent Kashmir families,” said Mirwaiz Umar Farooq of Hurriyat. Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said the centre must exercise caution and carefully distinguish between terrorists and civilians following the recent Pahalgam attack.
