Pahalgam Terror Attack: India Responds with Unmatched Resolve and Strategic Power
India has had enough.
For decades, Pakistan has turned a blind eye to the terror it breeds within its own borders. The recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent Hindu pilgrims, is not an isolated incident. It’s another shameless act of terrorism sponsored by a state that has made a habit of exporting violence while hiding behind false diplomacy.
This is the same Pakistan that masterminded the Mumbai 26/11 attacks, launched the deadly Pulwama assault, and even harbored Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist, on its soil. Time and again, Pakistan has shown its inability to address the very terrorism it nurtures under the protection of its army, with no accountability, no remorse—just a pattern of denial and deceit.
But India is done playing by the rules. This time, the Pahalgam attack has pushed India to take decisive action. From suspending the Indus Waters Treaty to expelling Pakistani diplomats and shutting down trade routes, India is sending a loud, clear message: No more tolerating terrorism. No more false promises. No more lies.
India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty and Closes Key Border Crossing in Retaliation to Terrorism
In a decisive move against Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism, India has announced the suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. Indian diplomat Vikram Misri confirmed the suspension, emphasizing that it would remain in effect “until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures support for cross-border terrorism.” This marks a critical turning point in the long-standing water dispute between the two nations.
As part of its strategic retaliation, India has also closed the only active land crossing between the two countries—the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, halting all cross-border movement through this vital route. The closure of the Attari border is a stark reminder of India’s resolve to punish terrorism and send a strong message to Pakistan.
Pahalgam Terror Attack: India Expels Pakistani Diplomats in Strong Diplomatic Retaliation
In an unprecedented response to the Pahalgam terror attack, India has expelled key Pakistani diplomats, further escalating tensions and sending a clear message to Islamabad: Terrorism will not be tolerated.
In a late-night briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced that the defence, naval, and air advisors at the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi have been declared persona non grata and given one week to leave the country. Simultaneously, India will withdraw its own military advisors from Pakistan, significantly reducing the diplomatic missions’ strength in both capitals.
This move follows a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which finalized a series of retaliatory measures directly targeting Pakistan’s alleged links to the terror attack.
In a rapidly escalating crisis, India has made it clear that its tolerance for cross-border terrorism has reached its limit. The expulsion of Pakistani officials is not just symbolic—it’s a bold and strategic action, signaling that India will no longer entertain diplomatic relations with those who harbor terrorists.
India has drawn a red line, and there will be no backpedaling.
U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Slams New York Times for Distorting Pahalgam Attack: “This Was a Terrorist Attack, Plain and Simple
In a strong rebuke to media bias, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee criticized the New York Times for downplaying the Pahalgam terrorist attack. The attack, targeting Hindu pilgrims, was clearly an act of Islamic terrorism, but the New York Times and other global outlets avoided calling the attackers “terrorists,” instead using terms like “gunmen.”
The House Foreign Affairs Committee called out the media distortion, declaring, “We fixed it for you. This was a terrorist attack, plain and simple.” This statement highlights the failure of international media to accurately report on terrorism, further complicating efforts to hold Pakistan accountable for its role in fostering extremism.
By using softer language, global outlets not only misrepresent the severity of the Pahalgam attack but also fuel Pakistan’s narrative of a disputed Kashmir, undermining India’s sovereignty and the victims of the attack.
