As soon as the House met for day, Chairman Hamid Ansari made a mention of the attacks, which also left 6 CRPF personnel and 4 civilians injured.

"This attack on security personnel is deplorable and deserves to be condemned in the strongest terms," he said.

"This House strongly condemns the attack and reiterates its resolve that such acts must be confronted with determination and firmness," he said.

The House observed silence as a mark of respect to those killed in the attack.

Two suspected Pakistani militants had stormed a CRPF camp near a school in Bemina area, killing five security personnel in the first suicide attack in Kashmir in three years.

The Lok Sabha had on Thursday made an obituary reference to the CRPF jawans killed in the terror attack.
