People from all regions and different schools of thought have expressed disgust and shock over the incident, while demanding action against the culprits. The social networks were busy the whole day, with large numbers of youth expressing solidarity with the victims and condemning the act of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Messages of condolence were shared by thousands of people belonging to all seven districts of Gilgit &#8211; Baltistan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Different political leaders, activists and ordinary citizens appealed to the people of GB to remain peaceful and not take law into their hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>PMLN Chief Organizer, Hafiz Hafeez ur Rehman<\/strong> wrote on his facebook profile:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I strongly condemn the terrorist attack on INNOCENT PEOPLE at KKH near Harban (Dist Kohistan). My sincere\/deepest condolences on the loss of INNOCENT PEOPLE. May GOD give them eternal rest &amp; may their souls be rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to stress that any terrorist activity, no matter who does it and for what purpose, is the greatest blow to peace, democracy, humanity, and all religious values.\u00a0For this reason, no one\u2014and certainly no Muslims &#8211; can approve of any terrorist activity. Terror has no place in one\u2019s quest to achieve independence or salvation. It costs the lives of innocent people. The Qur\u2019an declares that one who takes a life unjustly has, in effect, taken the lives of humanity as a whole, and that one who saves a life has, in effect, saved the lives of humanity as a whole. Also, our Prophet Muhammad says that a Muslim is one who does no harm with either his or her hand or tongue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Renowned activist and writer, Hidayatullah Akhtar, wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: rtl; text-align: justify;\">&#8220;\u06af\u0644\u06af\u062a \u0628\u0644\u062a\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0628\u0627\u0633\u06cc\u0648 \u062f\u06c1\u0634\u062a\u06af\u0631\u062f\u06cc \u067e\u0648\u0631\u06d2 \u067e\u0627\u06a9\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u0627 \u0645\u0633\u0644\u06c1 \u06c1\u06d2 \u0686\u0646\u062f \u0622\u062f\u0645\u06cc\u0648\u06ba \u06a9\u06cc \u06a9\u0627\u0631\u0648\u0627\u0626\u06cc \u06a9\u0648 \u067e\u0648\u0631\u06d2 \u0639\u0644\u0627\u0642\u06d2 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be \u06cc\u0627 \u06a9\u0633\u06cc \u0645\u0630\u06c1\u0628 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0633\u0627\u062a\u06be \u0645\u0646\u0633\u0648\u0628 \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u0627 \u0645\u0646\u0627\u0633\u0628 \u0646\u06c1\u06cc\u06ba\u06d4\u06d4\u06d4\u0622\u067e \u0627\u06cc\u06a9 \u0628\u0627\u0634\u0639\u0648\u0631 \u0642\u0648\u0645 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba. \u0627\u062d\u062a\u062c\u0627\u062c \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u0627 \u06c1\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0627 \u062d\u0642 \u06c1\u06d2 \u0644\u06cc\u06a9\u0646 \u06cc\u06c1 \u0627\u062d\u062a\u062c\u0627\u062c \u067e\u0631 \u0627\u0645\u0646 \u06c1\u0648\u0646\u0627 \u0686\u0627\u06c1\u0626\u06d2 \u0627\u06af\u0631 \u06c1\u0645 \u0628\u06be\u06cc \u0644\u0648\u06af\u0648\u06ba \u06a9\u0648 \u06c1\u0644\u0627\u06a9 \u06cc\u0627 \u062c\u0644\u0627\u0626\u0648 \u06af\u06be\u06cc\u0631\u0627\u0626\u0648 \u06a9\u0631\u06cc\u0646\u06af\u06d2 \u062a\u0648 \u06c1\u0645 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0646 \u062f\u06c1\u0634\u062a\u06af\u0631\u062f\u0648\u06ba \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u06a9\u06cc\u0627 \u0641\u0631\u0642 \u0631\u06c1\u06cc\u06af\u0627\u06d4\u06d4 \u062f\u06c1\u0634\u062a\u06af\u0631\u062f\u06cc \u06a9\u06d2 \u0627\u0633 \u0648\u0627\u0642\u0639\u06d2 \u00a0\u067e\u06c1 \u06c1\u0645 \u0633\u0628 \u06a9\u0648 \u062f\u06a9\u06be \u06c1\u06d2 .\u06c1\u0645 \u06c1\u0644\u0627\u06a9 \u0634\u062f\u06af\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0644\u0648\u0627\u062d\u0642\u06cc\u0646 \u06a9\u06d2 \u063a\u0645 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0628\u0631\u0627\u0628\u0631 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0634\u0631\u06cc\u06a9 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u062e\u062f\u0627 \u0645\u0631\u062d\u0648\u0645\u06cc\u0646 \u06a9\u0648 \u0627\u067e\u0646\u06cc \u062c\u0648\u0627\u0631 \u0631\u062d\u0645\u062a \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u062c\u06af\u06c1 \u062f\u06d2 \u0622\u0645\u06cc\u0646 \u06d4\u06d4 \u06af\u0644\u06af\u062a \u0628\u0644\u062a\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0639\u0648\u0627\u0645 \u062d\u06a9\u0648\u0645\u062a \u0633\u06d2 \u0645\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u06c1 \u06a9\u0631\u062a\u06d2 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u06a9\u06c1 \u0648\u06c1 \u06a9\u0648\u06c1\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646 \u0628\u0633 \u0641\u0627\u0626\u0631\u0646\u06af \u06a9\u06cc\u0633 \u06a9\u06cc \u0641\u0648\u0631\u06cc \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u0633\u062e\u062a \u06a9\u0627\u0631\u0648\u0627\u0626\u06cc \u06a9\u0631\u06d2 \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u062f\u06c1\u0634\u062a\u06af\u0631\u062f\u0648\u06ba \u06a9\u0648 \u0641\u0648\u0631\u06cc \u06af\u0631\u0641\u062a\u0627\u0631 \u06a9\u0631\u06a9\u06d2 \u06a9\u0691\u06cc \u0633\u0632\u0627 \u062f\u06d2\u00a0&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: left;\"><strong>Adviser to Chief Minister, Sadia Danish<\/strong>, wrote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: left;\">&#8220;We condemn brutal killings of innocent people- Irrespective of religion, cast, race and color.
