The global response shows how terrorism affects humanity everywhere. But we need more concrete action - why can't the international community put pressure on countries harboring terrorists? Enough of just prayers and condolences.

Pahalgam is such a peaceful place, visited by families and honeymooners. This attack feels personal to every Indian who's enjoyed Kashmir's beauty. Salute to our forces who eliminated the terrorists within hours.

While prayers are important, we must also focus on better security for tourists. Kashmir tourism was reviving after so many years - we can't let terrorists win by creating fear. 🙏 #StandWithKashmir

Proud to see Indian missions worldwide organizing these events. Terrorism has no religion - it's an attack on humanity. The video clips shown must have been tough to watch but important for the world to see the reality.

The minute of silence observed across the world shows how connected we Indians are, no matter where we live. But I hope these attacks don't deter people from visiting Kashmir - that's exactly what terrorists want.
