Following the terror attack on Tuesday that left 26 dead in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, protests have raged across India. In New Delhi, members of the Indian Youth Congress organised a candlelight vigil in response to the tragedy, burning Pakistani flags while condemning the assault and demanding decisive action against those responsible.
Simultaneously, the Youth Congress in Telangana took to the streets, calling for accountability and measures to combat cross-border terrorism.
In Pahalgam, local hotel owners and shopkeepers participated in a candlelight demonstration to honor the victims, while in Srinagar, Sajad Lone, the chief of the J&K People's Conference, led a protest march to voice opposition to the violent incident.
On Wednesday, the Indian government unveiled a series of measures aimed at sending a strong message to Pakistan regarding its role in supporting cross-border terrorism, including the suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty and immediate closure of the integrated checkpost at Attari.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held a special press conference after a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting, announcing that Pakistani citizens would no longer be allowed to enter India under the SAARC visa exemption scheme.
The CCS meeting, which lasted for over two hours, was presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who received a comprehensive briefing about the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen.
The committee condemned the attack in the strongest possible terms, expressing heartfelt condolences to the victims' families and wishing for the swift recovery of those injured.
During the briefing, the CCS was informed about the cross-border connections associated with the terrorist act. Families of the victims of the Pahalgam attack are grieving their losses while urging the government to take decisive action against the individuals behind this atrocious crime.
The attack, which occurred at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on Tuesday, is one of the most devastating incidents in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack, which resulted in the deaths of 40 CRPF personnel. This incident marks one of the most significant terrorist attacks in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
