Rahul Gandhi commemorates the Pahalgam terror attack anniversary, reaffirming India's united stance against terrorism and its commitment to never succumbing to fear and hatred.
The entire nation stands united against terrorism and India will never bow before forces that seek to spread hatred and fear, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday as he paid tributes to those who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
On the first anniversary of the dastardly attack, Gandhi paid his heartfelt tributes to all the brave hearts who were killed.
"India will neither ever forget their sacrifice and the anguish of their families, nor will it ever forgive the perpetrators of this cowardly act," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said in a post in Hindi
"The memory of the innocent lives so ruthlessly snatched away continues to shake our hearts to this day. The grief of the martyrs' families is a grief shared by us all," he said.
"The martyrdom of these sons of the nation will forever remain indelible in the soul of India," Gandhi said.
The entire nation stood united against terrorism and violence, stands united today, and it will always remain so, he asserted.
"India will never bow before forces that seek to spread hatred and fear; we will stand against them with even greater strength, unity, and resolve. Jai Hind," Gandhi said in his post.
Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out an attack at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on this day last year, killing 26 innocent people, mostly tourists from across India.
After the Pahalgam terror attack, India carried out a retaliatory military offensive against Pakistan named Operation Sindoor, in which Indian armed forces destroyed military and terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
