Pahalgam Terrorist Attack: What happened today in the serene and picturesque Pahalgam area of ​​Jammu and Kashmir has shocked the entire country. 30 people are feared dead in the terror attack, including two foreign nationals—an Israeli and an Italian tourist. Many people have been seriously injured in the incident. This attack is not just the killing of innocent people but a direct attack on the unity, integrity and social harmony of India.

Attack: A well-planned barbarism

According to sources, about 5 to 10 terrorists targeted the tourists and opened fire with utmost brutality. The attack was so sudden and swift that it took the local security forces an hour to respond, during which the terrorists escaped into the nearby forests. Some eyewitnesses say that the terrorists asked the tourists about their religion and then shot them in the head, which makes this attack even more brutal.

Immediate response of the central government

Soon after the attack, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a high-level meeting at his residence in Delhi. After this, he immediately reached Srinagar, where he is reviewing the situation along with Governor Manoj Sinha. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has also given full information about the situation to Shah.

Political and social reaction

This attack is being strongly condemned everywhere. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) called it a daring attack on the integrity of the country and paid tribute to the dead. The Sangh has demanded strict action against the attackers from the government.

Senior Indian National Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that this is the time to respond unitedly. He urged the central government to call an all-party meeting and take all parties into confidence.

Public anger and unity

After this painful incident of Pahalgam, a wave of anger has spread across the country. In Baramulla, Kashmir, the local people expressed their protest against this brutality by taking out a candle march. This is a clear indication that the common people of the valley are also against terrorism and want to move towards peace.

Way forward

This attack has once again made it clear that terrorism cannot be tolerated in any form. This is not just a problem of Jammu and Kashmir, but a question related to the identity of the entire country. The government should take quick and decisive steps to bring the culprits to justice, as well as strengthen the security system.

This is the time to stand united, rise above political differences and take a common resolution for the security and integrity of the country. Innocent people of Pahalgam have lost their lives, but our will power could not be bent.
