“It is extremely outrageous and upsetting that such a blast occurred at the gate of my residence amid the prevailing unrest in the state,” said MLA S Kebi to the media.
Any case of misunderstanding can be resolved through negotiation and dialogue instead of resorting to such barbaric attacks, she expressed.
She further appealed to those behind the incident to not repeat such activities anywhere in the future.
“We are all humans and misunderstandings can be solved without bombs,” she asserted.
