Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli has voiced strong condemnation of the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 28 innocent tourists were killed by terrorists who opened fire indiscriminately in the Bhaisaran Valley, a scenic spot known as "Mini Switzerland."
Reacting to the tragedy, Kohli took to Instagram to share his anguish. “The brutal attack on innocent people in Pahalgam has deeply disturbed me. My deepest sympathies to the families of the victims. I pray for peace and strength to the families of those who lost their lives and that justice is served to those who committed this heinous act,” he wrote. The message quickly went viral, with lakhs of fans and followers showing solidarity and echoing his call for justice.
This incident, which has sparked nationwide grief and anger, is being described as one of the most serious terror attacks in recent years. Security analysts believe that with tourist numbers in Kashmir reaching record highs, the attack may be part of a calculated attempt to create unrest and disrupt peace in the region.
There is a growing perception that terrorists are now targeting soft civilian populations away from the Line of Control, aiming to revive their presence and provoke panic among peace-loving citizens.
Kohli’s statement joins a chorus of voices from across India, including political leaders, spiritual figures, and citizens, all demanding that those responsible face swift and decisive punishment.
