Triplicane paid homage to victims of terror at Pahalgam

*Tearful homage to the victims of terror at Pahalgam, Kashmir*

Terrorism raised its ugly head again at Pahalgam - in a heinous, gruesome murder attack, gun wielding terrorists killed 26 tourists

The heinous murder reprised Indian Govt to take strong steps against terror harbouring neighbor Pakistan that includes : suspension of Indus Water Treaty of 1960; closing integrated check post at Attari; not allowing Pakistani nationals to travel to India under SAARC visa Exemption scheme. Pakis holding SVES visa have been asked to leave India in 48 hours. The defence / military, Naval and air advisors in Paki High Commission in New Delhi declared persona non grata and given a week to leave the country.

Nation is shaken by the terror and is overwhelmed with grief – for those innocent Hindus who did nothing wrong. At this hour of grief for those victims – we stand with their families – and pray God to give them the strength to bear this colossal tragedy.

Today at Triplicane, a peace march was held paying homage to the victims of terror attack. A Ashwathaman, BJP; AT Elangovan, Hindu Munnani and host of others participated in the march and paid homage.
