He said so far only security forces had been targeted by terrorists, but now even citizens and tourists are not safe, reported PTI.
Rahul Gandhi demands martyr status for Pahalgam attack victims, requests PM to "respect sentiments of families affected"
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday demanded martyr status for the 26 victims of the deadly Pahalgam attack and requested the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "respect the sentiments of the families of those who lost their lives by giving honour to them."
"I stand with the families of those killed in the Pahalgam attack in their grief and in their demand for martyr status. The Prime Minister is requested to respect the sentiments of the families of those who lost their lives in this tragedy by giving this honour to them," the Congress leader wrote in a post on X.
Terrorists on April 22 opened fire in Baisaran, a popular tourist spot in the upper reaches of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, killing 26 people, mostly holidayers from other states -- an incident that has spiked India-Pakistan tensions, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting that the killers would be pursued "to the ends of the earth."
