SCs full court condemns terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed its deep anguish and condemned the cowardly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir on April 22.

The full court unanimously adopted a resolution to condemn the act of terrorism.

The resolution 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."

The Supreme Court also paid respectful tribute to the innocent lives snuffed out brutally and prematurely while also expressing its heartfelt 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," it stated.

It further said, the attack on tourists, who were merely enjoying the natural beauty of the Crown Jewel of India i.e. Kashmir, is undoubtedly an affront to the values of humanity and the sanctity of life and this Court strongly condemns the same.

The judges, lawyers, members of the staff and all other persons present in the court and in the Registry also observed two minutes silence expressing solidarity with the victims as well as their bereaved families.

In another resolution, Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association also strongly condemned the heinous terrorist attack in Pahalgam, an incident that has deeply shaken the conscience of our entire nation.

The Association fervently hoped for an end to the cycle of violence and innocent killings carried out in the name of religion or politics.

SC Bar Association also adopted a resolution unequivocally condemning the "barbaric and cowardly" terrorist attacks perpetrated against innocent tourists in peaceful regions of Pahalgam.

"These reprehensible acts of violence are a direct assault on the values of humanity. Targetting unarmed innocent civilians is an act of unpardonable savagery," it said.

SCBA demanded that the perpetrators of the attack should be brought to justice will full force of the law.

In my view and in many peoples' view, SC Judges have no right to pay tributes to the killed tourists. In another way, the SC judges are responsible to this terror attack. They know the reason very well.
