Commonwealth Journalists' Association (CJA) has strongly condemned the murder of Shujaat Bukhari, a senior journalist and editor of the daily Rising Kashmir (Srinagar).
In a statement yesterday, CJA demanded stringent action against the killers. They said: "The assassination came close to the end of the holy Ramadan month, on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, makes the act more reprehensible.
It underscores the grim ground reality in the troubled Jammu and Kashmir that daunts the people and the media that reports it." Paying tributes to the slain journalist, CJA observed that Bukhari was a good human being and a fine journalist, known for his liberal views.
