What Happened in Pahalgam?

On 22 April, last month, in Pahalgam, Jammu-Kashmir, terrorists killed 27 tourists who were peacefully enjoying their vacations. A Lt. Colonel, IB officer and many others include in the list of victims. The Resistance Front (TRF) an Islamic terrorist group from Pakistan, actively engaged in the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir, and designated as a terrorist organization in India, took responsibility for the attack.

Since the attack, India has already retaliated through diplomatic measures, suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, downgrading bilateral ties, expelling most Pakistani citizens in India, and shutting down the only operational land border crossing at Attari.
