J&K Congress Chief Tariq Hameed Karra Echoes Rahul Gandhi’s Stand on Pahalgam Carnage, Calls for Unity
Jammu April 28, 2025:- In a powerful statement on X, Jammu and Kashmir Congress President Tariq Hameed Karra amplified the stance of Leader of the Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi regarding the recent Pahalgam terror attack, emphasizing national unity and unwavering support for the Government of India in safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty. The tweet, posted in response to the tragic attack on April 22, 2025, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists, underscores the Congress party’s commitment to prioritizing India’s integrity during this critical juncture.
Quoting Shri Rahul Gandhi, Karra tweeted: “The Indian National Congress stands united with the Government of India at this critical juncture. In matters concerning National interest and sovereignty, we extend our full support to all necessary and appropriate actions. The defence of India’s integrity must remain paramount.” The statement reflects a call for collective action and solidarity in the face of the brutal attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow, described as one of the deadliest civilian attacks in the Kashmir Valley in recent years.
Karra’s post reinforces the Congress party’s position, as articulated by Rahul Gandhi, to avoid politicizing the tragedy while standing firmly with the government to ensure justice and security. The J&K Congress chief has previously condemned the attack in the strongest terms, calling it an “attack on humanity” and urging both India and Pakistan to maintain calm and resolve issues diplomatically. At an all-party meeting convened by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on April 24, Karra reiterated the need for unity, stating, “This is a moment of grief, not of politics. The country needs unity, not division.”
The J&K Congress, under Karra’s leadership, has proposed an all-party delegation to visit the families of the victims and suggested erecting a memorial in Pahalgam to honor the deceased. Karra also called for the posthumous recognition of Shaheed Syed Adil Hussain, who heroically attempted to save tourists during the attack, with the highest bravery award.
As the nation grapples with the aftermath of the Pahalgam carnage, Karra’s reiteration of Rahul Gandhi’s message serves as a clarion call for unity, resilience, and a robust response to protect India’s sovereignty and ensure justice for the victims.
