Raman Suri condemns cowardly terror attack on tourists in Baisaran, Pahalgam

JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Executive Member Raman Suri vehemently condemns the heinous terrorist attack on innocent tourists in the Baisaran area of Pahalgam, Anantnag district, which tragically claimed many lives and left several others injured. This barbaric act of violence, perpetrated on April 22, 2025, is a shocking display of cowardice that has no place in a civilized society.

The abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 marked a turning point, ushering in an era of unprecedented calm, where not a single bullet was fired in such incidents. This attack establishes that militants have been cornered and militancy is on its last legs which is why they have now chosen civilians and that too tourists. The targeting of hapless and unarmed tourists, who visit Jammu and Kashmir to experience its unparalleled beauty, is an act of sheer cowardice.

This attack not only endangers lives but also threatens to severely impact the tourism industry, which has flourished in recent years, contributing significantly to the region’s economy. The BJP stands resolute in its commitment to ensuring the safety of every visitor to Jammu and Kashmir.

Raman Suri calls for immediate and decisive action to hunt down and eliminate the militants responsible for this dastardly act. “These cowards must be brought to justice with the full might of our security forces. We cannot allow such elements to disrupt the peace and progress of Jammu and Kashmir,” Suri stated. He further urged the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to expose and dismantle the networks behind this attack and if such conditions.

The BJP extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and prays for the speedy recovery of those injured. The party reaffirms its unwavering resolve to combat terrorism in all its forms and ensure that Jammu and Kashmir remains a safe and welcoming destination for all.
