Bangladesh interim government chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday condemned the recent attack on tourists in India’s Kashmir.

He also expressed deep condolences over the loss of lives in the attack.

Armed men opened fire on a group of tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, killing at least 26 people, according to Indian police.

Multiple tourists received gunshot wounds in the attack on Tuesday while they were visiting Baisaran meadow, about 5km from the disputed region’s resort town of Pahalgam.

In a message posted on his Facebook page, Professor Yunus said, ‘Excellency: Please accept my deepest condolences over the loss of life resulting from the terrorist attack that took place in Kashmir’s Phalgam.’

‘We strongly condemn this heinous act. Let me reaffirm Bangladesh’s resolute stand against terrorism,’ he added.
