Some reports say the bomb went off as Communist leader Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami addressed the crowd, others say it occurred just as he was arriving.
He survived the attack, which took place in Kulgam town, 40 miles (65 km) south of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir state. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.
