Owaisi, who had earlier expressed his annoyance after being left out of the all-party meeting by the centre, was later invited to join the meeting by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

While condemning the killings and calling the terrorists 'abominable dogs', the Hyderabad MP also sought accountability from the centre following the attack. He said the report of the Lieutenant JR Mukherjee committee, formed in 2000 after the terror attack on Amarnath Yatris left 30 people dead, was never made public. He said: "A place where there were so many tourists, there was not even one police personnel or a CRPF camp."
