Pahalgam is a scar on our nation's heart. 26 innocent lives, targeted just for being who they were. We must never forget, and we must ensure our security forces have every tool to prevent such barbarity. Proud of our resilience, but we need stronger deterrence.

Nice words from foreign envoys, but where were they when we needed action? Pakistan continues to operate terror camps with impunity. The world must isolate them, not just tweet. Solidarity is meaningless without consequences for state-sponsored terrorism.

I was in Kashmir last month, and the people there are so warm. This attack was a cowardly act to divide us. Glad to see global support, but we must also address the root causes in the region—poverty and radicalization—while staying firm on security. 🙏

Remembering the victims and their families. It's good that countries like Australia, UK, France, and Israel are showing solidarity. But I wish our own government would do more to ensure tourist safety in Kashmir. The economy there depends on it, and every life is precious.

As someone who visited Kashmir last year, this breaks my heart. The beauty of Pahalgam is unmatched, but the shadow of terrorism lingers. Grateful for international support, but real change needs global action against the sponsors of terror. Stay strong, India.
