Amarnath Yatra Terror Attack: This is how celebrities reacted on Twitter

Terrorists on Monday attacked a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra Pilgrims. The bus was returning back from Baltal after performing the yatra.

Latest media report suggests that six Amarnath pilgrims were killed and 12 others injured, including policemen, on Monday when a bus full of pilgrims was caught in a cross fire between militants and a police party at Anantang district, Jammu and Kashmir.

Amarnath Yatra, which is considered to be one of the holy and oldest pilgrimages of India, has already commenced on 29th June, 2017 and will culminate on  Raksha Bandhan on 7th of August 2017.

Several Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar, and sports persons like Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Kaif have already condemned the sudden attack which took place a couple of hours after Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed to have busted a Lashkar-e-Taiba module and arrested two persons, including Sandeep Kumar Sharma alias Adil who is a resident of Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.

Famous author and motivational speaker Chetan Bhagat also raised his voice and expressed anguish over the matter.
