NEW DELHI: Ahead of the anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Army on Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to justice and warned of a decisive response if the “boundaries of humanity” are crossed.
In a strongly-worded post on its X handle, the Indian Army said, “When boundaries of humanity are crossed, the response is decisive. Justice is served. India stands united.”
The post was accompanied by a visual message stating “Some boundaries should never be crossed, ” featuring a map of India marked with red ‘sindoor’ powder, symbolising the Army’s decisive action against terrorists under 'Operation Sindoor'.
The image also carried the message “India does not forget, ” underlining the country’s resolve and unity.
The Pahalgam terror attack took place on April 22, 2025, when 26 people were killed in a brutal massacre targeting tourists. The attack was carried out by The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The attackers singled out victims after asking about their religion, forcing them to recite the Islamic ‘kalima’ to identify non-Muslims. Among those killed were 25 tourists and one local pony ride operator who tried to save the tourists.
Several victims were newly married, and many were shot at close range in front of their families.
