Meanwhile, condemning the stone pelting on the school bus, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, “Shocked & angered to hear of the attack on a school bus in Shopian. The perpetrators of this senseless & cowardly act will be brought to justice.”

On the other hand, former CM and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah questioned the agenda of stone pelters and tweeted, “How does pelting stones on school children or tourist buses help advance the agenda of these stone pelters? These attacks deserve our unequivocal condemnation & this tweet is mine.”
