CPM said that the protest and condemnation by Kashmiris in the aftermath of the killings were “most significant event”.“The valley witnessed a shut down. It is this popular sentiment which must be built upon to isolate the terrorist elements in Jammu & Kashmir. No measures should be taken, such as the demolition of houses of terrorists, which affects innocent families and alienates people… The government should seriously weigh whether a military response will serve the purpose of curbing cross-border terrorism and act as a deterrent,” the statement also read.The party, in the statement, also highlighted attacks on Muslims after the enactment of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025 in various cities. It alleged that the ruling party at the Centre, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is using the Bill to polarise the people on religious lines and attack minorities.“Some of the BJP leaders have stated that after the Waqf Bill, attention should be turned towards the properties owned by the Church. This exposes their real intention, to capture the properties of all the minority communities and deprive them of the constitutionally guaranteed rights and protections,” the party said, adding that Muslim extremist organisations are trying to take advantage of the situation and are playing into the hands of the Hindutva communal forces.
