People in J&K hold candle march to condemn attack on tourists
In a powerful display of solidarity and outrage, people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Handwara held a candle march on Tuesday to condemn the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, which has reportedly claimed the lives of 27 people. The tragic incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life expressing their anguish and condemnation of the senseless violence.
The candle march, which was attended by hundreds of people, was a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of terrorism on innocent lives. The participants, including students, activists, and locals, carried candles and banners with messages of peace and condemnation of terrorism. They chanted slogans like “Wake up Pakistan” and “Stop killing innocent people” to express their outrage and demand an end to such heinous attacks.
The attack on the tourists, who were on a pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave shrine, was carried out by the terrorist outfit The Resistance Front (TRF), which has claimed responsibility for the attack. The TRF is a shadowy group that has been linked to Pakistan-based terrorist organizations, and has been responsible for several violent attacks in the region in the past.
The attack has sent a wave of fear and insecurity among tourists and locals alike, and has raised concerns about the safety and security of visitors to the region. The Jammu and Kashmir government has promised to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of tourists, and has launched an investigation into the attack.
The candle march was a spontaneous response to the attack, and was organized by local residents and activists who were outraged by the senseless violence. The participants, who included people from all ages and backgrounds, came together to express their solidarity with the victims and their families, and to demand an end to such attacks.
“The attack on the tourists is a heinous crime, and those responsible must be brought to justice,” said Mohsin, a local resident who participated in the candle march. “We condemn such acts of terrorism and violence, and demand that the government takes concrete steps to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, including tourists.”
The attack has also sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the country, with politicians, celebrities, and civil society leaders expressing their shock and disgust at the senseless violence. The Indian government has promised to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of tourists, and has launched a crackdown on terrorist organizations responsible for the attack.
The TRF, which has been linked to Pakistan-based terrorist organizations, has a history of carrying out violent attacks in the region. The group has been responsible for several attacks on security forces, civilians, and tourists in the past, and has been accused of being a proxy of Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The attack on the tourists has raised concerns about the role of Pakistan in the region, and has sparked demands for the country to take concrete steps to curb the activities of terrorist organizations operating from its soil. The Indian government has accused Pakistan of providing safe haven to terrorist organizations, and has demanded that the country take action to prevent such attacks in the future.
The candle march in Handwara was a powerful expression of solidarity and outrage, and served as a reminder of the devastating impact of terrorism on innocent lives. The attack on the tourists was a senseless act of violence that has left the nation in shock, and has sparked widespread demands for action to be taken to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, including tourists.
