Peoples Conference spokesman Adnan Ashraf Mir, while expressing sorrow over Singh’s death, said establishments like wine shop can become soft targets for militants.

Unfortunate loss of lives in Baramulla Wine shop attack. Wish those who eagerly pushed opening of wine shops had been wiser. They should have known these shops will become soft targets. Especially when the security atmosphere is so fragile and the administration utterly clueless, Mir tweeted.
