Jammu/Srinagar, Aug. 2 -- National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday condemned the Kulgam terror attack that left two migrant workers dead but questioned "why such attacks happen whenever his party (NC) raises the demand for restoration of statehood," and also called for an investigation into the incident.

"I regret it. We do not even know who killed them and how they were killed. There should be an investigation, a fair probe into who the killers are," Abdullah told reporters in north Kashmir's Baramulla district.

The three-time chief minister also questioned the timing of such incidents in the Valley.

"I don't know why such incidents happen when we seek statehood," he said.
