Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher has condemned widespread grief and anger against the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, during which 26 tourists were killed and 17 injured. The terror attack by militant group Kashmir Resistance is called the worst attack on civilians in India after the Mumbai attacks in 2008.
In a condolence message, Kher condoled with the victim families and shared his sorrow over the inauspicious loss. He denounced violence and emphasized the need to remain strong and united in such a trying moment.
Leaders around India and the globe have reacted with the strongest possible denunciations to the attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to it as a "horrific assault on humanity" and assured that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. Home Minister Amit Shah also used the exact same words, assuring stringent action against the attackers.
This ghastly incident has shaken the nation to its very core, in addition to emphasizing the age-long issue of security in the region. As the nation mourns, voices such as that of Anupam Kher bring our collective grief and need to unite against such violence into focus.
