Joint Statement of Prominent Muslims

Joint Statement of Prominent Muslims condemning the Jammu Massacre

New Delhi, May 16, 2002: We the undersigned strongly condemn the brutal and cowardly attack by terrorists in Jammu on the innocent civilians and families of the security personnel. The gruesome incident is most brutal, inhuman and highly provocative. Targeting of innocent citizens including women and children can not be justified under any pretext and violates all norms of decency and morality.

We request the International community to take serious note of continued terror tactics aimed at innocent civilians in India and make sure that the patrons of such ghastly acts are held accountable.

We also appeal to the Government of India to ensure that justice is done to the victims and the root cause of terrorism and violence is rooted out.
