Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Wednesday denied any Pakistani involvement in the recent terror attack targeting tourists near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking to the media, Asif stated, “Pakistan has no connection with this incident. The unrest is entirely internal. Multiple regions within India, including Nagaland, Kashmir, the southern states, Chhattisgarh, and Manipur, are witnessing local uprisings against the Indian government.”


He further alleged that these disturbances are part of wider internal movements, suggesting that the issues are “home-grown” rather than influenced by external forces like Pakistan.


Union Home Minister Amit Shah visits Baisaran Meadow, site of Pahalgam terror attack

As the nation comes to terms with the devastating loss during the terror attack at Pahalgam on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday arrived at the Baisaran meadow, the site of the attack that claimed the lives of innocent tourists, sending shockwaves across the nation.

The Union Home Minister arrived at the terror site by helicopter, descending onto the meadow now bearing the scars of violence.

The security in the region had been heightened as army personnel arrived at the meadow in Pahalgam.

Earlier today, in the aftermath of the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid his tribute to the victims of the attack by laying a wreath in a poignant ceremony outside the Police Control Room in Srinagar.

Shah also met with the families of the victim members. Their faces etched with profound sorrow, pleading with the Home Minister, as they quivered with grief, expressing the depth of their pain following the tragic loss of their loved ones in the attack.

Congress MP KC Venugopal and Jammu-Kashmir Congress President Tariq Hameed Karra also paid tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack during the ceremony.

The attack, which unfolded on Tuesday in the picturesque Pahalgam area of Anantnag district, turned a place once known for its tranquillity into a site of mourning. The attack was one of the biggest terror attacks in the region after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
