Pahalgam Terror Attack: Latest Updates
Protests and candlelight vigils are taking place across India following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in the loss of 26 lives. Reports have emerged of gunfire from Pakistani positions along the Line of Control.
In response to the attack, security forces destroyed the homes of two Lashkar terrorists believed to be involved. This action follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong promise to track down and bring to justice the attackers responsible for this heinous act at the beautiful Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. Modi stated, “India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their supporters. We will chase them to the ends of the Earth.”
In retaliation, the Indian government has announced firm countermeasures against Pakistan, which include suspending the Indus Waters Treaty.
On the other side, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called a critical meeting of the National Security Committee with top military leaders, including army chief Asim Munir. He expressed that any effort by India to halt the flow of water from the Indus River would be regarded as an "act of war."
Additionally, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited the attack site in Baisaran and held discussions with the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor to assess the security situation in the Union Territory.
