India addresses tensions with Pakistan following deadly assault as border closure and diplomatic expulsions ensue.
The Indian government announced a series of retaliatory actions following the recent attack in Pahalgam, where gunmen targeted tourists, resulting in one of the deadliest incidents in Indian-administered Kashmir in recent years. With anger and grief sweeping through the nation, India stated it would close its primary border crossing with Pakistan and suspend a critical water-sharing treaty. The measures also include expelling Pakistani military personnel from the Indian capital, Delhi, and canceling visas for Pakistani nationals, demanding they leave within 48 hours.
Indian officials have pointed fingers at a group reportedly linked to the attack, alleging that Pakistan indirectly supports cross-border terrorism—an accusation that Islamabad denies. A manhunt for the gunmen, believed to be part of the Kashmir Resistance, continues as Indian security agencies bolster measures to ensure accountability. India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has emphasized that the response will encompass not only the attackers but also those who incited the violence from behind the scenes.
In response to the situation, Pakistan's National Security Council is set to meet, expressing concern over the incident and extending condolences for the loss of life. Debates about long-standing accusations regarding militant support between the two nations have resurfaced, as both countries brace for potential escalation of hostilities.
The international community has reacted strongly against the attack, calling for calm and renewed dialogue between the nuclear-armed rivals. As India pledges to seek justice and ensure security, the future of relations between two of South Asia's key players hangs in a precarious balance.
