PM Modi Holds Brief Meeting at Airport with EAM Jaishankar & NSA Ajit Doval on Pahalgam Terror Attack
Pahalgam Terror Attack Live Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his Saudi Arabia trip and returned to Delhi following the Pahalgam terror attack. He is set to chair a Cabinet meeting at 11 AM, which will include Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia and returned to India after a terrorist attack in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, on Tuesday, which killed 28 people, mostly tourists. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also shortened her trip and is heading back to India. The attack, carried out by terrorists linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, targeted tourists in a scenic area.
The attackers, dressed in military uniforms, opened fire on tourists around noon, including women and elderly people. The terrorists reportedly asked about the victims’ religion before shooting them. The area is remote, and rescue operations were difficult. Security forces quickly responded, and a helicopter was used for evacuations, while locals helped by transporting the injured on ponies. Twelve tourists were taken to a hospital in Pahalgam and are in stable condition.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the attack, calling it an “abomination.” Prime Minister Modi spoke with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and directed a response to the situation. World leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressed solidarity with India.
In a statement, PM Modi condemned the attack and promised justice for the victims. He returned to India after skipping the official dinner in Saudi Arabia.
