NEW DELHI — There can be no justification for the barbaric attack on tourists in Pahalgam in South Kashmir, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) President, Syed Sadatullah Husaini, has said.
Strongly condemning the heinous attack, in a statement on Wednesday, the Jamaat chief expressed his deep sorrow and outrage at the tragic loss of life and called for immediate justice.
“We strongly condemn the deadly terror attack that took place in Pahalgam, South Kashmir, on Tuesday. The loss of innocent lives, including foreign tourists, is deeply saddening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their grieving families. There can be no justification for such a barbaric act. It is completely inhuman and deserves absolute and unequivocal condemnation. Those responsible must be brought to justice and given the harshest punishment,” the statement said.
He stressed that no cause — political, ideological, or otherwise — can ever justify such barbaric violence.
“This was an inhuman act that defies every moral and ethical code,” he said
He also urged state and federal authorities to take decisive and transparent steps to ensure justice for the victims, bolster security measures, and safeguard vulnerable communities. He also called on civil society, faith leaders, and the media to act responsibly and refrain from narratives that may further inflame tensions or target innocent groups.
