Pahalgam witnesses a terrifying terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, which killed 26 civilians, including 25 Indian citizens, along with one Nepalese tourist. A deadly terrorist assault resulted in the loss of 26 innocent lives. This incident stands as the most lethal assault targeting civilians after the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India. A group that admitted responsibility for the attack has links with terror organizations situated in Pakistan. The incident has reinstated terrorism and border disputes as primary issues for worldwide scrutiny.
India’s Strong Response After Pahalgam Attack
जम्मू-कश्मीर के पहलगाम में आतंकियों ने भारत की आत्मा पर हमला करने का दुस्साहस किया है। मैं बहुत स्पष्ट शब्दों में कहना चाहता हूं कि इस हमले की साजिश रचने वालों को उनकी कल्पना से भी बड़ी सजा मिलेगी। pic.twitter.com/TMwL58HVTc

The Prime Minister attended an official event in Bihar’s Madhubani locality. Before beginning his speech, he observed a moment of respectful silence for the Pahalgam terror attack victims. The Prime Minister explained to the country how everyone experiences sadness due to terrorist groups brutally murdering tourists visiting Pahalgam. Every part of the country stands with these grieving families. He said,
“From Kargil to Kanyakumari, there is grief and rage. This attack was not just on innocent tourists; the country’s enemies have shown the audacity to attack India’s soul.”
The Prime Minister said the terrorists who carried out the attack and those who plotted it will,
“Get a punishment they cannot imagine. The time has come to raze whatever is left of the terror haven. The will of 140 crores will break the back of the masters of terror.”
- India revoked every Pakistani visa and returned all Pakistani military and consular personnel while withdrawing diplomatic relations between the countries.
- The border checkpoint between India and Pakistan at Attari-Wagah had to close operations, disrupting both commercial activities and face-to-face exchanges between citizens.
- The Indus Waters Treaty suspension has become one of India’s most important measures since this historic water allocation contract exists between Pakistan and India.
- The treaty has endured past India-Pakistan wars only to face suspension now, following the terror attack.
The government cut down on Pakistan’s active diplomatic operations within Indian territory. - The Indian government took aggressive, swift actions after this attack occurred, and India demonstrated through multiple decisive measures that Pakistan needed to understand it would not accept these actions.
It demonstrates India’s commitment to handling this situation with high seriousness. Indian officials hold Pakistan accountable for supporting terrorist operations, yet no definitive evidence backing this claim has emerged to date. The Indian government deems these forceful measures essential to protect national security, even though they impact border crossings between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Reaction To India’s Steps

Pakistani authorities implemented multiple measures when India took its steps. The Pakistani administration rejected claims of Kashmir attack involvement while condemning Indian measures as hostile. The Pakistani government tightened visa issuance for Indians, denied Indian flights airspace access, and restricted Indian diplomatic numbers in the country.
Pakistan threatened to drop all major agreements with India, including the Simla Agreement, which establishes both peace measures and Jammu and Kashmir Line of Control provisions. The serious warning indicates that pulling out from the Simla Agreement would heighten tensions in this volatile area.
The Pakistan Foreign Minister declared that attempts by India to modify Indus River water flows managed under the Indus Waters Treaty would trigger an act of war.
Global Reactions And Worries
The world has shown its serious worry about the increasing diplomatic strain. The United States, together with the United Kingdom and China, issued official condemnations of the Kashmir terror attack before demanding that India and Pakistan maintain peace. International powers have requested both nations to practice forbearance while preventing actions that might trigger larger confrontations.
Peace calls remain insufficient to lower the risk of additional problems in this situation. Kashmir has remained a point of conflict, leading to extensive warfare and current violence throughout numerous decades. The two countries’ common water facilities have created an additional complicated dimension to their ongoing problems.
A Fragile Relationship At Risk
The bilateral ties between India and Pakistan remain extremely unstable. Both nations have maintained basic operational agreements, such as the Indus Waters Treaty, despite experiencing numerous ups and downs in their bilateral relations. India’s suspension of the Indus Water Treaty demonstrates the total breakdown of mutual trust between the two nations after Pahalgam attack.
The situation is still developing. The next decisive actions from both countries will decide whether tensions decrease or escalate further, because they currently maintain solidly opposed stances. The world observes the situation closely while wishing for dialogue and peace to restore harmony before it becomes irreparably damaged.
