Preliminary investigations into the deadliest civilian attack in India since 2008 suggest a link to Pakistan-based terror outfits.
Intelligence sources revealed that the four militants involved were trained in camps located within Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Despite Pakistan’s denial of any involvement and its demand for a “neutral investigation,” mounting evidence continues to implicate entities across the border.
Eyewitness Accounts Reveal Gruesome Details
Witnesses at the scene provided horrifying testimonies, stating that the attackers separated tourists by gender and religion. Male victims were reportedly ordered to recite the ‘kalma’ (Islamic declaration of faith), and those who failed were executed at close range, further emphasizing the calculated cruelty of the terrorists.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the massacre, describing it as a heinous and unforgivable crime. He assured the victims’ families that justice would be swiftly served. In retaliation, the Indian government suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and revoked visas previously issued to Pakistani nationals under 12 different categories.
Broader Reactions and Fallout
The political fallout continues to escalate, with the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passing a resolution denouncing the terror attack. Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah admitted he had “failed” during his tenure to prevent such atrocities.
Public sentiment remains inflamed as India demands accountability and decisive action in response to the tragedy.
