Singh, while attending an event in Motihari, Bihar, mentioned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, stating, “The country is changing. This is why even Muslims in Kashmir are now prepared to fight against terrorism.”
Economic Development of Muslims After Article 370’s Revocation
He further stated that the Muslims of Jammu and Kashmir are consistently opposing terrorism and the Pahalgam incident. They understand that their economic development is progressing after the revocation of Article 370. This is why even Muslims in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are eager to join India. The reason behind all this is that the country is changing. It is noteworthy that on 22 April, terrorists opened fire on unarmed tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. This attack resulted in 26 deaths and several injuries. Victims reported that the terrorists asked them their religion before killing them. This attack has sparked widespread outrage across the country, with people demanding strong action from the central government.
Reduction in Staff at Pakistan Embassy
The government has implicated neighbouring Pakistan in the attack. Following the Pahalgam incident, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) took several strong decisions, including the potential abrogation of the Indus Waters Treaty, recalling Indian diplomats from Pakistan, and reducing the number of staff at the Pakistani embassy in India from 55 to 30. Reactions to this cowardly terrorist attack are pouring in from both within the country and abroad, with significant nations like the USA, Russia, and Israel expressing support for India.
