Terrorism is Global Menace: Vice President Dhankhar on J&K Attack
On Friday, the Vice President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, strongly condemned the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of at least 26 innocent people. In a statement, Dhankhar expressed his deep sorrow and outrage at the heinous act, reiterating that terrorism is a global menace that affects people from all walks of life.
The terror attack in Pahalgam, which is a popular tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir, occurred on Friday afternoon when a group of terrorists opened fire on a bus carrying Hindu devotees who were returning from a pilgrimage to the Amarnath shrine. The attack was carried out by terrorists affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, two notorious militant outfits that have been responsible for several attacks in the region in the past.
The Vice President’s condemnation of the attack comes as a shock to the nation, which is still reeling from the aftermath of the incident. The attack has sent shockwaves across the country, with people from all walks of life expressing their outrage and grief at the senseless violence.
Dhankhar’s statement on the attack is a stark reminder that terrorism is a global menace that affects people from all over the world. The Vice President’s condemnation of the attack is not just a symbolic gesture, but a clear message that the government is committed to fighting terrorism in all its forms.
The attack in Pahalgam is not an isolated incident. In recent years, Jammu and Kashmir has seen a surge in terrorist attacks, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of people, including security personnel, civilians, and tourists. The attacks have been carried out by various militant outfits, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
The terrorist outfits in Jammu and Kashmir have been sponsored by Pakistan-based groups, which have been providing them with financial, military, and ideological support. The Indian government has repeatedly accused Pakistan of supporting terrorism in the region, and has called for international pressure to be applied on Pakistan to stop its support for militant groups.
The attack in Pahalgam has once again highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to tackle terrorism. The Indian government has launched several initiatives to combat terrorism, including the creation of a National Counter Terrorism Centre, which is responsible for coordinating the government’s efforts to combat terrorism.
The government has also taken several steps to improve the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, including the deployment of additional security personnel, the establishment of a special task force to combat terrorism, and the implementation of a number of development projects to improve the lives of people in the region.
Despite these efforts, terrorism remains a significant challenge in Jammu and Kashmir. The region continues to be plagued by militant attacks, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of people, including security personnel, civilians, and tourists.
The attack in Pahalgam is a stark reminder that terrorism is a global menace that affects people from all over the world. It is a reminder that we must work together to combat terrorism, and that we cannot succeed in this fight alone.
As the Vice President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar’s condemnation of the attack in Pahalgam is a powerful statement that reflects the government’s commitment to fighting terrorism. The attack is a reminder that terrorism is a global menace that affects people from all walks of life, and that we must work together to combat it.
