NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) on Sunday condemned the attack and harassment of Muslims and Kashmir natives in particular, in wake of terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam last week.

Terming the incident in which 26 tourists were gunned down in a popular hill destination in south Kashmir as a 'a major security lapse', the CPM said that the Government's priority should be to identify the perpetrators and handlers of the attackers and prepare a dossier to be placed before the international community. It said that the matter should be taken up with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for suitable intervention.
