In the heartfelt letter, the CM wrote, “I write to you with a heavy heart in the aftermath of the horrific attack that took place in Pahalgam yesterday. The lives lost and the anguish inflicted upon innocent citizens have deeply shaken us all. This is not merely a tragedy for a region or a party—it is a wound upon the very soul of Jammu & Kashmir.”
Calling for unity across political lines, Abdullah added, “In this sombre moment, I believe it is our collective duty—as representatives of the people and as custodians of democratic values—to come together, irrespective of our political affiliations, and stand united in our response. I am, therefore, convening an all-party meeting to discuss the situation, express our joint condemnation of this act of terror, and deliberate on the path ahead in ensuring peace, justice, and resilience.”
The terror attack, which occurred in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam, is among the deadliest in Kashmir since the Pulwama attack in 2019.
