New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS): Teachers and students from Jamia Millia Islamia condemned Thursday's deadly attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir.

The students, along with teachers, took out a peaceful march inside the campus and held a meeting at gate number 7 of the university where a statue of poet Mirza Ghalib stands.

"The Jamia Teachers Association (JTA) sends a strong message of solidarity and condolences to the families of the martyrs. JTA condemns and denounces the attack on our security forces, the fellow citizens, in Pulwama.

"The history of Jamia is full of struggle in the path of nation development since 1920, and we will not leave any stone unturned this time, too, in helping the families who suffered an unbearable loss," secretary of the association, Majid Jamil, said.

In the worst ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir since militancy erupted in 1989, a suicide bomber on Thursday rammed his SUV packed with explosives into a CRPF bus on the Srinagar-Jammu highway in Pulwama district killing 49 troopers.
