Modi government will avenge the attack, he added.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti also condemned the Sunday killing and said, “There are no words strong enough to condemn the repeated barbaric attacks on innocent civilians. My heart goes out to their families because they leave the comforts of their homes to earn a dignified livelihood. Terribly sad.”

This is the third attack on migrants in the Valley. On Saturday, terrorists had fired upon two non-local labourers in Srinagar and Pulwama.
