People in J&K Hold Candle March to Condemn Attack on Tourists
In the face of yet another senseless act of terrorism, people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Handwara came together to condemn the brutal attack on tourists in Pahalgam, which has reportedly claimed the lives of 27 people. On Tuesday, a candle march was held in the town to express solidarity with the families of the victims and to demand an end to such heinous acts of violence.
The candle march, which was attended by a large number of people, was a poignant display of defiance in the face of terror. The participants, carrying candles and holding placards with anti-terrorism slogans, marched through the streets of Handwara, chanting slogans that echoed the sentiments of the nation. “Wake up, Pakistan!” and “Stop killing innocent people!” were some of the slogans that resonated through the air, sending a strong message to those responsible for the attack.
The terrorist attack on the tourists in Pahalgam is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle that India is facing against terrorism. The attack, which was claimed by the terrorist outfit The Resistance Front (TRF), has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life condemning the brutality of the attack.
The TRF, which is believed to be a affiliate of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has been responsible for several violent attacks in the region in the past. The group’s claim of responsibility for the attack on the tourists has once again highlighted the need for India to take a strong stance against terrorism and to work towards isolating Pakistan, which has been accused of providing support to terrorist groups operating in the region.
The candle march in Handwara was a powerful display of unity and solidarity, with people from different communities and backgrounds coming together to condemn the attack. The event was organized by local residents, who felt the need to come together and express their outrage at the senseless act of violence.
“We cannot remain silent in the face of such brutality,” said one of the organizers of the event. “We need to stand together and demand an end to terrorism. We also need to ensure that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice.”
The attack on the tourists in Pahalgam has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life condemning the brutality of the attack. The Indian government has also condemned the attack, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling it a “heinous and inhuman act”.
The incident has also raised questions about the security arrangements in place for tourists visiting the region. The government has promised to increase security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
In the meantime, the people of Handwara and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir are coming together to condemn the attack and to support the families of the victims. The candle march is just one example of the many ways in which people are expressing their outrage and solidarity with the victims of the attack.
As the nation mourns the loss of innocent lives, it is imperative that we stand together to condemn terrorism and to demand an end to such senseless acts of violence. The people of Handwara have set an example by coming together to condemn the attack, and it is our duty to continue to stand together against terrorism.
