Salman Khan reacts to Pahalgam terror attack

Salman Khan has taken to his X account to express his anger over the horrific terror attack that occurred in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. The actor took to his social media to pen down how Kashmir, named ‘heaven on earth,' is turning into hell. While extending condolences, he also called out how innocent people have been targeted.

Salman Khan, while expressing his grief and anger over the heinous incident, shared, "Kashmir, heaven on planet Earth, turning into hell. Innocent people are being targeted. My heart goes out to their families. Ek bhi innocent ko maarna, puri kainaat ko maarne ke barabar hai."

On April 22, a deadly terror attack on the tourists claimed around 26 lives in the Baisaran Valley of the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir region. The terrorists reportedly segregated the tourists based on their faith and shot them dead after finding out their religion.

The terrorist outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the attack. TRF is an off-shoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba and came into existence following the historic abrogation of Article 370 in the valley.
