Jammu, April 27. Protests were seen across the country against the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The people of Jammu and Kashmir also united and demanded strict action from the Government of India against terrorism. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah talked about furthering the support against terrorism and a decisive fight against terrorism and its ‘root’.

National Conference (NC)-ruled Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday posted on the social media platform ‘X’ and talked about a decisive fight against terrorism. He wrote, “After the Pahalgam terror attack, there should be a decisive fight against terrorism and its root.”

Talking about furthering public support against terrorism, he said, “The people of Kashmir have come out openly against terrorism and the killing of innocent people, they did this freely and spontaneously. Now the time has come to increase this support further and avoid any wrong action that alienates the people.”

Talking about strict punishment without mercy against the culprits of the terrorist attack, Omar Abdullah said, “The culprits should be punished, no mercy should be shown to them but innocent people should not be harmed.”

It is worth mentioning that on April 22, terrorists opened fire on unarmed tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. 26 people died in this attack and many were injured. The victims of the attack told that the terrorists asked people about their religion before killing them. After this attack, anger is being seen across the country. People are demanding strict action from the central government. At the same time, the people of Jammu and Kashmir also united and raised their voice against the terrorist attack.

The government has said that the neighboring country Pakistan is behind the attack. After the Pahalgam incident, in the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs, the central government took many tough and big decisions, among which cancelling the Indus Water Treaty, calling back its diplomats from Pakistan and reducing the number of employees in the Pakistani Embassy in India from 55 to 30 were important.
