Chandigarh, 26 April 2025

Condemning the barbaric terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has termed it a blot on humanity and a direct assault on Kashmir’s path to development. The cowardly act has sparked widespread outrage across the country. Punjab BJP In-charge and former Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Vijay Rupani issued a stern warning, declaring that the perpetrators will be taught such a lesson that their future generations will think a hundred times before casting an evil eye on India. During This BJP National Secretary and Punjab BJP Co-incharge MLA Narendra Singh Raina, Punjab BJP General Secretaries Anil Sarin, Jagmohan Raju, and Dayal Singh Sodhi, State Vice President Subhash Sharma, and Punjab BJP Media Head Vineet Joshi among several senior leaders were present at the time.

Vijay Rupani emphasized that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, decisive strides have been made toward stability and development in Kashmir in recent years. The air strike following the Pulwama attack broke the back of terrorism in the region. Subsequently, the valley witnessed record tourist footfall, improved employment opportunities for locals, and a return to normal life. He said this recent terrorist attack is not just the murder of innocent people but also a direct blow to Kashmir’s peace, trade, and tourism, threatening to once again destabilize everyday life in the region.

The BJP affirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are more than capable of responding to such attacks with force and resolve. The party also urged the Punjab Government to keep the state on high alert, given the state’s extensive border with Pakistan.

As part of the protest, BJP workers and leaders marched from the BJP office in Sector 37, Chandigarh, and culminated their demonstration by burning an effigy of Pakistan at Sector 25 chowk.

During the protest, workers raised powerful slogans such as:
“Pakistan Murdabad”,
“Doodh Mangoge Toh Kheer Denge, Kashmir Mangoge Toh Cheer Denge,”
and “Awaaz Do Hum Ek hai”—clearly expressing their deep anger and unity against terrorism.

The BJP also paid tribute to the lives lost in the attack and resolved that anti-national forces will not be spared on Indian soil.
