Wearing black arm bands, the office-bearers and members of the representative Muslim organisation staged a demonstration in front of the office of the Deputy Commissioner on Thursday and condemned in strong terms the terror attack.

They demanded that the Union government take strong action against the terror outfit and thereby, ensure reestablishment of peace in the Kashmir valley.

Addressing the protestors, Mr. Hindasageri said that such acts of terror are aimed at disturbing the bonhomie between Hindus and Muslims living in the country. The terrorists who killed the Indians should be shot dead, he demanded.

Raising slogans, the protestors demanded stringent action against the terrorists and condemned the terror act in strong words. Later, they submitted a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister to the Hubballi tahsildar.
