Indian community members in London recently gathered in large numbers to demonstrate against Pakistan’s act of terrorism, to express solidarity with India, over the Pahalgam terror attack that triggered worldwide condemnation.
Speaking to ANI, a member of Friends of India Society International, UK said, “We have gathered here outside the Indian Commission to support the Indian people and the Indian community because innocent people died.”
“The state-sponsored terrorism coming from the next-door neighbour should be alienated and classified as international terrorism. The Pakistan government should realise that it cannot continue this. So now it is time that the world should know where the terrorists are hiding…We should declare Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism. And secondly, the West should impose economic sanctions on Pakistan,” he added.
The community rallied in the UK to protest against the pro-Khalistani and pro-Pakistani demonstrators outside the Indian High Commission in London.
They waved flags and placards condemning the act of terrorism.
Similar protests against the terror attack were held across the globe since it occurred on April 22.
JD Vance
US Vice President JD Vance on Thursday reacted to the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir and said he hopes Pakistan would cooperate with India in hunting down the terrorists involved in the incident.
He also hoped that India would respond to the incident carefully to avoid any broader regional conflict.
Speaking to Fox News, Vance, who was in India when the Pahalgam terror attack occurred, said: “Our hope here is that India responds to this terrorist attack in a way that doesn’t lead to a broader regional conflict.”
Amit Shah warns Pakistan
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday issued a stern warning following the deadly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, declaring that India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, would deliver a precise and decisive response to any act of terrorism.
Sending out a clear message to terrorist groups, Shah said, “If anyone thinks that a cowardly attack is their victory, they must remember this is Narendra Modi’s India — and revenge will be taken, one by one.”
He reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to eliminating terrorism entirely, saying, “It is our resolve to uproot terrorism from every inch of this country, and it will be accomplished.”
The Pahalgam terror attack, which left 25 tourists and one local dead, marked one of the most severe assaults on civilians in recent memory.
The assailants targeted Baisaran meadow — a picturesque but remote location accessible only via hike or pony trail — indicating deliberate planning.
