After the devastating terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India has suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. This decision was made during a key meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, with discussions on potential actions being taken against Pakistan. As tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, Indian leaders have condemned Pakistan for their involvement in the attack and have vowed to take strong measures in response.
The Indian Army made its first major move since the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, as they killed top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Altaf Lalli in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district. The security forces are on the hunt for the terrorists responsible for the brutal killing of 26 civilians and have launched a massive anti-terror operation. In other developments, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited Srinagar for a security review meeting and the authorities demolished the houses of two suspected terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack.
Indian security forces successfully eliminated top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Altaf Lalli during an encounter in Bandipora, Jammu and Kashmir on Friday. The encounter occurred amidst a joint search operation launched by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police to track down those responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has arrived in Jammu and Kashmir to conduct a comprehensive security review and track the progress of the operation.
As the nation grapples with the aftermath of a terror attack in Pahalgam, security forces are undertaking a massive operation in the dense Karregutta hills forest to eliminate the heart of Naxal command. This operation, involving 7,000 personnel and cutting-edge technology, aims to strike a blow at Naxalism by targeting top leaders of the PLGA Battalion No. 1. This bold move by the CRPF, with the Director General personally overseeing the operation, marks a turning point in the fight against Maoist insurgency. With five Naxals already killed and more likely to come, the operation is being hailed as a decisive victory and could potentially spell the end of Naxalism in India.
The US Government has publicly criticized The New York Times for its reporting on the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, calling attention to the difference between the newspaper's use of "militant" instead of "terrorist." This choice of words is not only misleading but also minimizes the severity of the attack, which was claimed by a Pakistan-based group with links to Lashkar-e-Taiba. The US House Foreign Affairs Committee took to social media to point out the error and highlight the real nature of the attack, noting that it has significant implications for regional security.
Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the opposition in Bihar, has strongly criticised the Central government over the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. He questioned the failure of intelligence agencies despite intense security presence in the area. Yadav also alleged that the government is misusing investigative agencies for political gains, instead of focusing on national security. He drew parallels with the Pulwama attack in 2019 and demanded transparency in the investigation process. Yadav's statements echo the sentiments of other opposition leaders who are calling for accountability and clarity in the aftermath of the Pahalgam tragedy.
In the hunt for the perpetrators of the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, security forces have successfully demolished the houses of two LeT terrorists, including one who is suspected to have masterminded the attack. Police sources have also revealed the possible involvement of three Pakistani terrorists, with sketches of the suspects now released. This incident adds to the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, with the Indian Air Force conducting exercises near the LoC in response to the attack.
In a bold and widely shared press conference, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir and held Pakistan responsible for backing the terrorists.

In addition, Owaisi urged people not to make it a Hindu-Muslim issue, emphasizing that terrorism has no religion and those responsible must be held accountable.
The Indian government has implemented a series of measures, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack which claimed 26 lives.
