Uniting in Grief: Kashmir Remembers the Pahalgam Tragedy

Political parties came together on Wednesday to honor the memory of the 26 victims of last year's Lashkar-e-Taiba attack in Pahalgam. The atrocity left a deep scar, uniting Kashmiris in mourning and sending shockwaves through the region's economy and social fabric.

National Conference spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar emphasized the collective grief and immediate candlelight marches that followed the brutal attack. He expressed hope for stronger security measures, particularly at tourist hotspots, to prevent future tragedies.

Congress leader Tariiq Hameed Karra highlighted the continuing anguish and called for reflective statesmanship to bridge the gap between J-K's government and its people. Meanwhile, BJP leaders marked the somber anniversary with rallies, underscoring India's stance on defense and tribute to the victims.
