The horrific Pahalgam terror attack, claiming over 26 lives, mostly tourists, in Jammu & Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley, has sent shockwaves globally. As covered by news agencies, the attack targeted unsuspecting visitors in a scenic meadow, shattering Kashmir’s fragile peace and tourism revival hopes. Reports suggest terrorists, possibly linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, singled out non-Muslims, raising concerns about escalating sectarian violence. My two cents: This heinous act not only demands swift justice but also exposes the urgent need for stronger regional security to protect civilians. The international condemnation, from Trump to Vance, underscores the attack’s far-reaching impact—Kashmir’s stability is everyone’s stake.
