Earlier today, Shah Rukh Khan also expressed sadness and anger over the deadly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam. “Words fail to express the sadness and anger at the treachery and inhumane act of violence that has occurred in Pahalgam. In times like these, one can only turn to God and say a prayer for the families that suffered and express my deepest condolences. May we as a Nation, stand united, strong and get justice against this heinous act,” he wrote.
Several other celebrities, including Siddharth Malhotra, Sonu Sood, Anupam Kher, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Allu Arjun have also expressed shock and anger over the terrorist attack.
For the unversed, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon. The incident killed around 27 people. Eyewitnesses told security forces that two to three men rushed in dressed in military fatigues, firing indiscriminately at tourists while they were enjoying the Baisaran Meadows of Pahalgam on horseback. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, took responsibility for the attack.
Security forces were rushed to the area, and a massive anti-terrorist operation was launched to hunt down the assailants. Videos of the aftermath of the attack showed people lying motionless and bloodied on the ground while women were frantically looking for their loved ones.
