Bharat Won’t Bend to Terror: Amit Shah On Pahalgam Attack
Apr-23-2025

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asserted that the country will not bend to terror and that those responsible for the killing of tourists at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir will not be spared. 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the site of the attack this morning, landing by helicopter in the Baisaran meadow now marred by tragedy. After laying wreaths on the bodies of those killed in the terror attack, Shah said that, ‘With a heavy heart, paid last respects to the deceased of the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared.’ Later, he met the grieving families of those who were killed, their faces marked by anguish, as they shared their pain with the minister. 

Home Minister also chaired a high-level security review with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and the Director General of Police. Opposition leaders also joined in mourning. Congress MP K.C. Venugopal and Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee President Tariq Hameed Karra attended the tribute ceremony in Srinagar. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called the attack ‘much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years.’

At least 28 civilians were killed and dozens injured when terrorists opened fire in the Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam, Anantnag district, on Tuesday afternoon. This has been one of the biggest terror attacks after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
