Highlighting India’s full-scale diplomatic crackdown on Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 people, the Bengaluru-based Salar, in its April 26 editorial headlined “Aar paar ki tayyari (preparations for the decisive battle)”, writes that Pakistan has been rattled by these actions. “This has been a known fact that Pakistan has always been involved in orchestrating terror attacks in India. The Narendra Modi government took several measures to combat terrorism, ranging from demonetisation in 2016 to the bombing of a terror base in Pakistan after the Pulwama attack in February …

Death was just a bullet away from Debasish Bhattacharya, an Assam University professor Bhattacharya who was on a six-day Kashmir tour with his family, on the fateful day when terrorists gunned down tourists in Pahalgam on April 22. Born to a Hindu Brahmin family, Bhattacharya, while recounting the spine-chilling story of survival, told The Indian Express that he recited Islamic verse ‘Kalma’ as he saw four terrorists gun down (Hindu) men in front of his eyes. “Our Kashmiri tour was from April 21 to April 26, and we were to stay at Pahalgam for a day. On that day, we entered the arena called Mini Switzerland from the back side. Not many people were there on that side. We were all very relaxed. My wife was looking at some shawls while my son was walking around and I took some photos. Suddenly, I heard gunshots and asked the local photographer about it. He said shots are fired by the forest people to scare away monkeys,” said Bhattacharya, the head of the Bengali Department of Assam …

According to PTI, tourists gathered at Baisaran were from several states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
