Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 26 (ANI): Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan has lashed out at Pakistan in the wake of the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack, where 26 innocent people were killed, and many were left injured, labelling the neighbouring country as a “breeding centre of terrorism”.
“Pakistan never learns anything. They are encouraging the most barbaric terrorists all the time. It was rightly said that it (Pakistan) is a breeding centre of terrorism,” Radhakrishnan told ANI.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Bhagirath Choudhary also expressed anguish over the killings of 26 people, mostly tourists, in the Jammu and Kashmir Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 and asserted that Pakistan or whoever else was responsible would not be “spared”.
Referring to the all-party meeting held in the aftermath of the terror attack, Choudhary told ANI, ” Everyone in the all-party meeting unitedly said that the terrorists should be punished in a way that it is never repeated. In Pahalgam, some lost their sons, some lost their fathers. The entire country is in support of the government. Those (Pakistan) who shelter terrorism do not support anyone… Pakistan or whoever is behind this will not be spared,” the Union Minister told ANI a day earlier.
He also condemned the terror incident and said, “A heinous crime was committed. The killings of innocents in front of their wives and kids are condemnable to the core. Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), Union Home Minister (Amit Shah) and Defence Minister (Rajnath Singh) took immediate cognisance of the situation, went to Srinagar,” Choudhary added.
The all-party meeting was attended by leaders from several political parties.
Twenty-six people were killed in the terror attack in Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday.
India has taken strong countermeasures against Pakistan for its support of cross-border terrorism.
