A devastating terrorist attack against a Tourist refuge in Kashmiro killed 26 people on Tuesday and exercised a new tension on the disturbing relationship between India and Pakistan.
The attack went to a tourist site in the Himalayas called Phalagam, also known as “Little Switzerland” because it has continued to be a quiet duration 35 years of disturbances in the region. He Jammu and Kashmir The region is a territory administered by India that limits with Pakistan. It has the greatest proportion of Muslim residents of any territory in India. It was a partial autonomous state until 2019, when the government of Prime Minister Narendra modified his autonomy and brought it completely under the Indian Constitution.
BJP party that governs India saying He revoked autonomy to correct a massive “historical error” and solidify the claim of India in the region. Kashmir Colonial British was a state once independent whose status, after the modern nations of India and Pakistan were established, was a violent point or containment. India and Pakistan have fought three wars since 1947 and two of them were on Kashmir.
BJP critics said the government revoked the autonomy of Kashmir as a political trick to develop credibility with its nationalist voters, or perhaps even as a prelude to expel Muslim residents of the territory. The separatist violence decreased after 2019, but the resentments remained.
Phalagam seemed to be a part of puppy that did not house resentments. His picturesque architecture and impressive mountain views made him a popular tourist destination. Local residents seemed satisfied with their prosperous holiday industry.
One of Phalagam’s most beloved Attractions It is the Baisaran Prado area, a somewhat difficult park with incredible mountain views. A group of tourists from all over India gathered in Baisaran when four armed men attacked on Tuesday, hunting and falling to male visitors.
Boxes of injuries were reported in addition to deaths. A reason for the high casual count is that Baisaran is difficult to access with vehicles: most of the traffic is on foot or horse. Video tasks of terrified survivors fleeing for their lives immediately became viral in Indian social networks.
The murderers saved the tourists they found. One of them saying She was defeated by a complaint when her husband was killed and asked the attackers to kill her. One of them replied: “He will kill you. Go to tell Modi.”
Several of the survivors said the attackers specifically attacked Hindu men and saved the Muslims, testing their victims ordering them to recite the Koran and fired those who could not comply. The police have said that at least one of the victims was a Muslim man.
India was surprised by the attack of Phalagam, the terrorist laugh of sausage civilians since the 2008 attack against Mumbai and sausage violence to attack Kashmir in years. Prime Minister Modi returned early from a trip abroad to coordinate the response of India. His defense minister, Rajnath Singh, firmly implied that India would take military measures, and not only against the specific insurgent group that the responsibility of the attack was attributed.
“That answer and behind such an act will soon respond, strong and clear. We will not only reach those who have perpetrated this incident, but also those who, sitting are the scenes, have conspired to commit soil acts.
A relatively small militant group called Resistance front (TRF) used the telegram messaging platform on Tuesday to say Responsibility of the attack. The group is one of the few insurgents of Kashmiro that does not use an Islamic name, apparently in a deliberate effort to present themselves as patriots or puppies of Kashmir. First he became active on social networks after Kashmir’s autonomy was revoked in 2019.
Indian security officials have speculated that TRF’s secular act is a smoke curtain and the group is a real branch of Lashkar-E-Taiba (LT), a base of the Yihadita organization in Pakistan. LT was the group behind the 2008 attack in Mumbai.
TRF said in Telegram that his goal was to prevent India from changing the coffee demography by granting residence permits to the “strangers.”
“Consequently, violence will go towards those who try to establish illegally,” said the group.
Indian opposition politicians greatly expressed their support for Modi
Indian security officials may also have underestimated the willingness of militants to attack in Kashmir Tourism because doing so would damage the people of Kashmira by destroying their most profitable industry.
That industry seemed to be in free fall on Wednesday, with almost bread reports among tourists floating in Kashmir and cancel their next reserves. Jammu and Kashmira’s prime minister, Omar Abdullah, cry An “exodus of our guests.”
“It is a heartbreaking to see the exodus of our guests from the Valley after yesterday’s tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, but at the same time we fully understand why people ride,” he said.
“This tragedy will be for Kashmir Paralysis. We are trying to reassure our clients who still want to come,” said Hotel Abdul Salam, whose establishment was reserved solid for months until Tuesday.
Wednesday, India degraded His diplomatic relations with Pakistan, suspended a vital traffic treaty, announced travel restrictions, withdrew Indian military advisors and many Pakistan diplomats, and expelled the Pakistani military advisors of India. Pakistani National India was told to visit special visas to return home.
Pakistan was quite silent about Pahalgam’s attack at the beginning beyond offering formal condolences to the victims, but the Minister of Pakistani power, Awais Leghari, denounced on Wednesday the suspension of the Indian of the Water Treaty as an “illegal” act of “” and “and” and “illegal” e “e” illegal “e” and “and” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e “e” e
“Each fall is ours on the right, and we will defend it with all its strength, legally, politically and globally,” Leghari said.
An unexpectedly strong denunciation of the terrorist attack came from the Taliban Board in Afghanistan, which has become more complementary to India as their relations with Pakistan deteriorated over past girls.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan condemns the recent attack against tourists in the Pahalgam region of Jammu and Kashmira, and expresses condolences to accumulated families,” spokesman Talibán.
BALKHI saying“Such incidents undermine efforts to guarantee regional security and stability.”
President Donald Trump callous The “deeply disturbing” Kashmir attack in a social publication of the truth on Tuesday.
“We pray for the souls of the lost, and for the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi, and the incredible people of India have our full support and sympathy to depend. Our hearts are with all of you!” Trump wrote.
