Members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) organized a protest in the national capital on Wednesday in response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, which claimed the lives of nine people.
The VHP and Bajrang Dal called for severe punitive measures against the terrorists responsible. 'Those who died and injured were heading to Vaishno Devi for darshan,' stated a VHP functionary.
Protesters intend to submit a memorandum to senior officials addressed to the President of India, urging stringent action against those accountable for the attack.
The horrific incident occurred when terrorists opened fire on a 53-seater bus en route from the Shiv Khori temple to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra. The attack led to the bus veering off the road and plunging into a deep gorge near Teryath village in Reasi on Sunday evening, resulting in nine fatalities and 41 injuries.
The bus was carrying pilgrims from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi.
