Court today observed two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in the dastardly attack that took place yesterday
Amid national outrage over the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed at least 28 lives, the Supreme Court of India on Wednesday, 23 April, expressed its deep anguish and condemned the cowardly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir yesterday.
As per a press release issued after the full court of the Supreme Court adopted a resolution, the court stated, "This diabolical act of mindless violence has shaken the conscience of all and is a stark reminder of the brutality and inhumanity that terrorism unleashes."
Court paid its respectful tribute to the innocent lives snuffed out brutally and prematurely, while also expressing condolences to the bereaved families.
"May the departed souls rest in peace and may those who were injured recover soon. The nation stands with the victims and their families in this hour of indescribable grief," the press statement added.
The top court further said that the attack on tourists, who were merely enjoying the natural beauty of Kashmir, was undoubtedly an 'affront to the values of humanity and the sanctity of life'.
As a collective expression of grief, the court, along with lawyers and other members of the staff, also observed a two-minute silence in memory of those who lost their lives on account of the act of terrorism in Pahalgam in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
