Safeer Choudhary, Strongly Condemns Pahalgam Terror Attack thousands join the protest against inhuman act by the militants at Bathindi Jammu

JAMMU APRIL 23:- In the aftermath of the horrific terror attack at Baisaran near Pahalgam in Anantnag district, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Safeer Choudhary has issued a scathing condemnation of the act, calling it a “barbaric assault on innocent lives” and a “grievous blow to the spirit of Kashmiriyat.” Choudhary made the remarks during a protest demonstration held at Bathindi More in Jammu, where grief and outrage echoed through the crowds gathered in solidarity with the victims.

The terror attack, which claimed the lives of 27 individuals—many of whom were tourists from across India—has drawn widespread condemnation from all corners of the country. As the region grapples with shock and mourning, Choudhary’s strong statement highlighted not just the tragedy of lost lives but the broader implications of such attacks on peace and communal harmony in Jammu and Kashmir.

“I am deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic terror attack that claimed the lives of 27 innocent people, most of them tourists who had come to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our land,” Choudhary stated. “This is not just an attack on individuals but on the spirit of Kashmiriyat and the collective conscience of our society.”

He further emphasized that these “cowardly acts” are calculated moves by anti-national elements to derail the hard-earned stability that people of Jammu and Kashmir are striving to rebuild. “Such violence is a deliberate attempt to sow fear and distrust among communities. My heart goes out to the families of the victims, especially those from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha, who have suffered an irreparable loss,” he added.

The AAP leader acknowledged and praised the swift response from law enforcement and security agencies in controlling the situation and launching an immediate investigation. “We urge the government to ensure that those responsible for this heinous crime are identified and brought to justice without delay. At the same time, steps must be taken to reassure the public and restore confidence among tourists and locals alike,” Choudhary asserted.

Showing political solidarity across party lines, Choudhary also extended support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is expected to visit Srinagar for an on-ground assessment of the situation. “This tragedy requires a united stand from all political, civil, and social groups. We must not allow the enemies of peace to succeed in their evil designs,” he said, calling for coordinated efforts at both local and national levels.

The protest in Bathindi More, organized by local AAP workers and concerned citizens, saw complete shutdown of the local market and surrounding institutions, including banks, offices, and shops. The symbolic closure was an expression of collective mourning and a unified call for justice. Participants lit candles, held placards denouncing terrorism, and offered prayers for the departed souls.

Choudhary concluded his statement with a heartfelt appeal to the public, urging restraint and unity in this time of sorrow. “Let us stand together—beyond political affiliations and religious identities—to show that the spirit of Kashmiriyat is stronger than any act of terror. We will not be divided, and we will not be deterred.”

As security remains heightened in the region and investigations continue, voices like Safeer Choudhary’s reflect the resilience of a people determined not to let terror define their future.
