India Takes Decisive Action Against Pakistan Following Pahalgam Terror Attack

New Delhi | April 24, 2025 – In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack that left 28 tourists dead and over 20 injured, the Indian government has announced a series of strong retaliatory measures against Pakistan. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, convened a high-level emergency meeting on Tuesday to address the grave national security challenge.

The terror attack, which occurred on April 22 in the Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam (Jammu and Kashmir), was executed by militants affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based terror outfit. The incident has triggered widespread national outrage and international condemnation.

Key Developments from the CCS Meeting

In a strategic response, the CCS announced five major policy decisions to hold Pakistan accountable and tighten internal security mechanisms:

Suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty:
India has unilaterally suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a 1960 water-sharing agreement facilitated by the World Bank, marking a historic shift in India-Pakistan relations.
Revocation of Visas for Pakistani Nationals:
The government has cancelled all active visas issued to Pakistani citizens and instructed them to leave the country within 48 hours, citing heightened security risks.
Reduction in Diplomatic Engagement:
India will reduce the diplomatic staff stationed at the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi, reflecting a formal downgrade in diplomatic relations.
Closure of the Attari-Wagah Border:
Authorities have sealed the Attari-Wagah border, bringing cross-border trade and transit to a complete halt. This move is intended to curb potential infiltration and prevent any further threats.
All-Party Meeting Called:
The Central government has scheduled an all-party meeting to forge a united political front against terrorism and discuss future security strategies.

Details of the Pahalgam Attack

The targeted terrorist shooting took place around 1:00 PM IST on April 22, 2025, as tourists enjoyed the scenic Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam. The attackers indiscriminately opened fire, killing tourists from Karnataka, Gujarat, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh, along with two foreign nationals – one each from Nepal and the UAE.

The TRF claimed responsibility, citing opposition to demographic changes in Jammu and Kashmir. Intelligence reports suggest the involvement of five militants, including three Pakistani nationals and two local operatives.

Manhunt and Investigation

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken charge of the investigation. Security agencies have released sketches of three suspects – Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah, and Abu Talha. The mastermind is believed to be Saifullah Kasuri alias Khalid, a senior Lashkar commander operating from Pakistan.

A massive manhunt is underway in Jammu and Kashmir, with intensive combing operations, drone surveillance, and heightened troop deployment across sensitive regions. The attack is being seen as a well-orchestrated strike with cross-border logistical support.

International Condemnation and Solidarity

The international community has unanimously condemned the act of terror. The United States, Russia, Italy, and other global powers have expressed grief over the incident and extended condolences to the bereaved families.

US Secretary of State and Russian President Vladimir Putin have both emphasized the need for global unity in counterterrorism efforts, especially in South Asia.

Political and Public Reactions

The opposition has questioned the government’s earlier claims of normalcy in Kashmir, and political leaders have demanded more stringent anti-terror measures. On the ground, candle marches, protest rallies, and public demonstrations have erupted in cities like Patna, Delhi, and Bengaluru, expressing solidarity with the victims and demanding justice.

Prominent voices from civil society, religious organizations, and defense analysts have reiterated the need for a comprehensive anti-terror doctrine backed by international diplomatic pressure on Pakistan.

The Pahalgam terror attack is being seen as a defining moment in India’s counter-terrorism policy. With the Indus Treaty suspension, visa revocations, and diplomatic downgrading, India has made it clear that cross-border terrorism will be met with firm and resolute action. As the nation mourns the tragic loss of innocent lives, the focus now shifts to securing the homeland and eliminating terror networks at their roots.
