India is in a state of mourning and shock after the heinous and brutal Pahalgam terror attack. Reportedly, a total of 26 unarmed civilians were killed, and most of them were tourists. The terror attack took place on the evening of April 22, 2025.

The chain of unfortunate events that took place in Pahalgam has infuriated the entire country, and people have been demanding strict actions against the culprits. Many Indian sportspersons came forward to condemn the cowardly attack. Former India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Virat Kohli also asked for justice to be served.

The Resistance Front, which is a proxy of the ISI-backed LeT, claimed responsibility for the attacks. Ex-Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria also raised several questions on Pakistan's role in the Pahalgam Terror Attack.

"If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t the Pakistan Prime Minister condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth; you’re sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you," wrote Kaneria on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
