With a heavy heart, paid last respects to the deceased of the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharat will not bend to terror. The culprits of this dastardly terror attack will not be spared. Every Indian feels the pain of losing their loved ones in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. This sorrow cannot be expressed in words. I assure all these families and the entire nation that these terrorists who killed innocent people will not be spared at all. This is a tragic day for the entire nation. The pain and sacrifice of the innocent will not go in vain.
Defence Minister
Rajnath Singh
India is an old civilisation and such a big country can never be intimidated by any such terror activities. Every Indian is united against this cowardly act. Not just those who perpetrated the attack, but even those who conspired from behind the scenes to commit such nefarious acts on the Indian soil will soon get an appropriate response. History is witness to the withering away of nations not due to the action of the adversary, but due to the result of their misdeeds. I hope people across the border look at lessons of history more closely. Our country has lost many innocent citizens in a cowardly attack by terrorists targeting religion. This extremely inhuman act has left us in deep pain. In this hour of grief, I pray for peace to the departed souls.
Lieutenant
Governor, J&K

I strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. I assure the people that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished. Spoke to the DGP and security officials. Army and J&K Police teams have rushed to the area and launched search operations. I directed the district administration and the health officials to provide immediate medical attention to those admitted at Pahalgam. An injured tourist has been evacuated to GMC Anantnag. I pray for the speedy recovery of all the injured.

This attack on our visitors is an abomination. The perpetrators of this attack are animals – inhuman and worthy of contempt. No words of condemnation are enough.

Member of Parliament
Mian Altaf Ahmad
I am deeply disturbed by this heinous incident. My prayers are with the victims, and I urge the administration to ensure the best medical care for the injured.
Haseeb Drabu,
Former Finance Minister, J&K
The unprecedented boom in tourist activity has been cut short cruelly. The much anticipated recovery and revival of trade and commerce, which accounts for 40 per cent of the local economy, has been suddenly and brutally cut short and the livelihood of lakhs of families has been seriously impaired.
The recent surge in investment – official figures for investments of Rs 1.75 lakh crore in the pipeline with the potential to create 6.06 lakh jobs — will now be in jeopardy. While there is a staggering economic loss, the real loss is much more. Kashmir can survive without the income from tourism, but it can’t live with its societal value system being so severely damaged and compromised as was done in Pahalgam. The tourists from all parts of the country which are now the backbone of this industry, are not just transactional beings for Kashmiris. Historically, in Kashmir, tourists have been harbingers and ambassadors of socio-economic integration with the mainland respectful of human differences and cultural diversity which has resulted in revitalization and regeneration of native cultures.
Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami, CPI(M) leader and MLA Kulgam
The terror attack at Baisaran, Pahalgam is a deeply tragic.
