Jammu and Kashmir politicians Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have condemned the assault. Omar Abdullah of the National Conference tweeted tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“These men just descended on us. They started beating us and calling us terrorists. We have been coming for 20 years. Something like this has never happened with us before,” one of the dry fruit sellers said.
