"Very unfortunate. I unreservedly condemn this attack and send my best wishes to the injured. I hope they make a complete and speedy recovery," Abdullah said in a tweet.
Altaf Thakur, the BJP's spokesperson in Jammu and Kashmir, said, "Strongly denounce the attack on unarmed non local labourers in Gagran, Shopian district by the terrorists. This reflects frustration, inhumanity and cheapness of terrorists involved (in) the gruesome attack on three non local labourers who had gone to buy grocery items."
Thakur urged the police to track those involved in the act and punish them sternly.
Praying for a speedy recovery of all three injured men, he said.
