Pahalgam terror attack: Rahul Gandhi to visit Kashmir tomorrow to meet injured

Following the terror attack in Pahalgam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will visit Jammu and Kashmir tomorrow, the party announced on Thursday.

Rahul had cut short his US visit after the terror attack and returned back today, following which he also attended the Congress Working Committee meeting.

The party said he will also visit south Kashmir to inquire about the health of the injured at GMC Anantnag hospital.

Earlier, the Congress had termed the Pahalgam attack as a “cowardly and calculated act of terror” masterminded by Pakistan, which is a “direct assault on the values of our Republic”.

The party also paid tribute to the local ponywalas and tourist guides, one of whom was “martyred while selflessly trying to protect a tourist”.

The party’s national general secretary KC Venugopal announced, “In solidarity with the victims of the horrific Pahalgam terror attack, Congress workers across all states and districts will hold candlelight marches on April 25 to honour the victims and reaffirm our unity against terrorism. All Samvidhan Bachao rallies scheduled for April 25 and 26 stand postponed. These will resume from April 27 onwards.”
