Jammu, April 28
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly started its day-long special session on Monday with a two-minute silence in deference to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.
The Assembly will discuss and pass a resolution condemning the April 22 terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed by terrorists in Baisaran meadow.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary presented a resolution in the Assembly which said, “The House expresses its profound shock and anguish at the barbaric and inhuman attack on innocent civilians on 22nd April 2025 and resolve that, the House unequivocally condemns the heinous, cowardly act that resulted in the loss of innocent lives. Such acts of terror are a direct assault on the ethos of Kashmiriyat which is enshrined in our constitution and the spirit of unity, peace and harmony that have long characterised Jammu and Kashmir and our nation."
The MLAs of the opposition BJP demanded that the terrorists and their backers be brought to justice.
Tensions have mounted between India and Pakistan after Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists sponsored and aided by Pakistan killed 26 innocent civilians, including 25 tourists and a local, on April 22 in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam.
The entire country was outraged by the cowardly act of terrorists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his first reaction to Pahalgam killings that the terrorists, their handlers and backers would he chased and hunted down to the ends of the earth.
