Congress leader Rahul Gandhi paid tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, remembering those who lost their lives in the deadly incident last year.
In a message shared on social media, Gandhi said, “I pay heartfelt tribute to all the brave heroes who were martyred in the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam last year. India will never forget their sacrifice… nor will it ever forgive those responsible for this dastardly act.”
पहलगाम में पिछले वर्ष हुए कायरतापूर्ण आतंकी हमले में शहीद हुए सभी वीरों को मैं भावभीनी श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करता हूं।
भारत उनका बलिदान और उनके परिवारों की पीड़ा को न कभी भूलेगा, और न ही इस कायराना कृत्य के दोषियों को कभी माफ करेगा।
बेरहमी से छीने गए मासूम जिंदगियों की याद आज भी…

Reaffirming national unity, Gandhi added that India stood united against terrorism at the time of the attack and continues to do so, with a firm commitment to resist forces that spread hatred and fear.
The anniversary of the Pahalgam attack has seen leaders across the political spectrum paying homage to the victims and reiterating India’s unwavering stance against terrorism.
