New Delhi, April 22
The Pahalgam terror attack that has killed 26 innocent civilians in J&K has been the biggest terror attack after 26/11 Mumbai terror attack that targetted innocent civilians in indiscriminate firing.
The ghastly terror attack was committed during the visit of US Vice President JD Vance wo is on four day visit to India with his family. The attack brings external ramifications for India.
Visiting US Vice-President JD Vance posted his condolences on X: “Usha and I extend our condolences to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India. Over the past few days, we have been overcome with the beauty of this country and its people. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn this horrific attack.”
Calling it “deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir”, US President Donald Trump said: “The United States stands strong with India against terrorism. We pray for the souls of those lost, and for the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi, and the incredible people of India, have our full support and deepest sympathies. Our hearts are you with all!”
the White House said that the President has been briefed by the National Security Advisor on the situation. President Trump will be speaking with Prime Minister Modi as soon as he possibly can to express his heartfelt condolences for those lost, and our prayers are with those injured, and our nation’s support for our ally India, said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The attack comes just days after US extradited Tahawwur Rana, accused of plotting 26/11 Mumbai attacks, to India. It was during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the US in February that Trump had confirmed the extradition of Rana to India.
Russian President Vladimir Putin “This brutal crime has no justification whatsoever. We expect that its organisers and perpetrators will face a deserved punishment,” Putin said, adding, “I would like to reiterate our commitment to further increasing cooperation with Indian partners in fighting terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”
Italian PM Georgia Meloni also shared a message of support on social media, after the “terrorist attack in India, which caused numerous victims”. “Italy expresses its closeness to the families affected, the injured, the Government and all the Indian people,” she said.
