The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passed a resolution on Monday, condemning the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. The resolution was moved by Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary during a special session of the Assembly, which began with members observing a two-minute silence to pay homage to the victims.

The resolution emphasized that the attack was an assault on the values of “Kashmiriyat,” the Constitution, and the spirit of unity, peace, and harmony in Jammu and Kashmir.

The resolution also recognized the sacrifice of Shaheed Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a pony ride operator who was killed while attempting to save tourists during the attack. It further acknowledged the unity and resilience shown by the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the aftermath of the attack and their support for the victims.

The resolution expressed the Assembly’s support for the diplomatic measures announced by the Centre following a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security on April 23.

Among these measures, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, which was signed in 1960. Other actions include the closure of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, the suspension of the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals, and a reduction in the number of diplomatic staff at the High Commissions on both sides.
