Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday (local time) highlighted how India responded in a measured and calibrated manner towards terror bases and headquarters in Pakistan, following the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. He gave a call for the world to come together to fight unitedly against terrorism.

Delivering the remarks at the Indian Consulate, Tharoor noted the visit by the members of the all-party delegation to the 9/11 Memorial was their first stop. He said, “It was obviously a very moving moment for us, but it was also meant to send a very strong message that we are here in a city which is bearing still the scars of that savage terrorist attack in the wake of yet another terrorist attack in our own country.” Tharoor said, “We came both as a reminder that this is a shared problem, but also out of a spirit of solidarity with the victims… It’s a global problem, it’s a scourge and we must all fight it unitedly.” Speaking about the aim of the visit of the all-party delegation, Tharoor said, “Our idea is very much to speak to a cross section of public and political opinion in each of the countries we’re going to about recent events which obviously trouble a number of people around the world.

The recent confrontation between India and Pakistan was not a “conflict in Kashmir”, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has asserted, saying such a description would be like putting the perpetrator and the victim of the Pahalgam attack at the same level.

The “horrific” strike in Pahalgam was aimed at creating a “fear psychosis”, destroying Jammu and Kashmir’s tourism sector and was meant to “sow religious discord, he said. Dr S Jaishankar made the remarks during an interactive session at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin late last evening.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday said that two army brigades have been deployed and mobile network has been established in the remote areas of terror-hit Billawar in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district to bolster security and enhance surveillance capabilities.

Singh, the minister of state in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), also said that long pending demand of widening of the Dhar Road, connecting Samba and Udhampur districts, has been taken up with impetus received from the home and defence ministries in the wake of the recent armed conflict with Pakistan and very soon the BRO will hand over this road to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for widening.

Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to ensure that elements aiding and abetting terrorists are uprooted from society. “We need to strike hard at the terror ecosystem. Terrorists’ aides should be identified and they should be given the same punishment as terrorists for inflicting wounds on the soul of J&K,” Sinha said after laying the foundation stone of a guest house at the Hazratbal dargah.

Paying homage to the Pahalgam massacre victims, the LG said Operation Sindoor avenged the attack by punishing “terror state Pakistan” and firmly enforced India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. “The brave soldiers of our armed forces have not only destroyed the terror factories deep inside Pakistan but have also drawn a new red line. Now any terror attack will be considered an act of war and Pakistan will be given the harshest punishment for it,” he said.

The Border Security Force (BSF) is maintaining a strong presence along the international border in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, as part of ongoing Operation Sindoor. BSF personnel are working tirelessly to ensure national security and prevent any potential threats from across the border.

Yogendra Singh Rathore, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Jaisalmer BSF, emphasized the force’ unwavering commitment to national security, highlighting their role as the first line of defense. “BSF is the first line of defence and is always alert on the border. 5-6 years after its formation, the India-Pakistan war took place in 1971, and even then, it proved its usefulness. We were victorious during the Kargil war too. When the incident happened on 22nd April, when they (terrorists) killed our innocent citizens, after that, we were ready to give them a befitting reply. We stood by the decision taken by the Government of India, and we were fully prepared so that we could stop any misadventure right there,” said DIG Rathore.
