Expressing grief over the terror attack, NSE CEO Ashish Chauhan took to X to announce aide for the victims’ families and said, “We are deeply saddened by the tragic terrorist attack in Kashmir on April 22,2025 where 26 people lost their lives. In a humble gesture of support, NSE pledges Rs 1 crore to the next of kin of the victims, standing in solidarity with their families during this difficult time.”

Addressing an event, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat said, “The fight that is going on right now is not between sects and religions. Its basis is sect and religion, but this fight is between ‘Dharma’ and ‘Adharma’. Our soldiers or our people have never killed anyone by asking about their religion. The fanatics who killed people by asking about their religion, Hindus would never do this.

That is why the country should be strong. Everyone is sad, there is anger in our hearts as it should be, because to destroy the demons, immense power is necessary. But some people are not ready to understand this, and there cannot be any kind of change in them now.

Ravana was a devotee of Lord Shiva, knew the Vedas, had everything that was needed to be a good person, but the mind and intellect he had adopted were not ready to change. Ravana would not have changed until he died and was reborn. That is why Ram killed Ravana to change him. Evil people should be eliminated; this is the expectation. This expectation will be fulfilled…”

Even as Pakistan condemned the recent attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam and denied claims of harbouring terror outfits, its Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday hailed the perpetrators as “freedom fighters”.

On the Pahalgam terror attack, Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar says, “At the beginning of the event, we paid tribute to all those, including six people from Maharashtra, who tragically lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack two days ago.

Revenge must be taken to ensure that those who are responsible for this attack are shown their place. The Prime Minister has already made significant decisions. Such incidents must never be repeated in the future, and I am confident that our Indian Army will decisively eliminate those behind this heinous act.”

The house of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Adil Thokar, also known as Adil Guree, has also been demolished. He is believed to have been involved in the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

Adil had legally traveled to Pakistan in 2018, where he reportedly received terror training before returning to Jammu and Kashmir last year.

On the arrest of AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam for his remarks on the terror attack in Pahalgam, AIUDF Chief Badruddin Ajmal says, “I have received the news that Haji Aminul Islam has been arrested for commenting on the Pahalgam incident. I heard the comment. What Haji Aminul has said is very unfortunate. At this time, we have to stand together with the Indian government.

A terrorist is just a terrorist; he has no caste or religion. It is very important to condemn those people who are working on terrorism, defaming Islam and Muslims. The comment made by Haji Aminul is his own, it is not our party’s comment.”

High Commission of India in London, UK, organised a solemn tribute at India House to honour and remember the victims of the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack. High Commissioner of India, Vikram Doraiswami, said, “This is the largest killing of civilians since the Mumbai terror attacks… People were pulled out, identified and based on their religious identity, they were shot dead… The purpose was to create terror and to undermine the ongoing normalisation in Jammu & Kashmir.

There have been such practices to intimidate, divide and distract India – but it hasn’t worked before, won’t work now, and will never work. We are 1.4 billion people, and we are a nation moving forward. We will never be deterred by those who think that killing people is a solution… As our prime minister said, there will be no forgiveness, and there will be a price for this act for those who committed and those who planned and backed it. There is nothing in the world that can stop us…”
