New Delhi: The entire country was shaken from within on April 22 2025, when 26 innocent civilians were killed by terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam. Today marks the first anniversary of the horrific attack.
Leaders across party lines are paying tribute to the victims of the attack. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi took to X and said, "I pay heartfelt tribute to all the brave heroes who were martyred in the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam last year. India will never forget their sacrifice and the pain of their families, nor will it ever forgive those responsible for this dastardly act. "
"The memory of those innocent lives brutally snatched away still shakes our hearts today. The grief of the martyrs' families is the grief of us all. The martyrdom of those sons of the nation will forever remain etched in the soul of India. The entire nation stood united against terrorism and violence then, stands united now, and will always remain so," he added.
Gandhi further said, "India will never bow before the forces that spread hatred and fear—we will stand against them with even greater strength, unity, and resolve."
