This act of terror has brought shame to Kashmir, he said.

In a statement, Khan also said that there is no place for violence in Islam and called upon all religious leaders to come together against terrorism.

He urged Muslims and the Kashmiri youth to stand united against terrorism to give a message to the world that the Indian Muslim is a true follower of peace.
