New Delhi [India], April 25 (ANI): In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Friday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene a special session of Parliament to demonstrate national unity and convey the sentiments of the Indian people to the international community.
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Sibal emphasized that the entire country stands behind the Prime Minister during this critical time. “A terrorist is a terrorist; he has no religion. A resolution must be passed unanimously to express the sentiment of the nation in front of the world,” Sibal stated, urging a firm, united response from all political parties.
He proposed that the government send a bipartisan delegation of Members of Parliament—including both ruling and opposition leaders—to nations across the globe. “We should send a delegation to countries like Africa, the US, Europe, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and South America, to raise global awareness about the situation,” he said. According to Sibal, such diplomatic outreach is vital for mounting international pressure and securing global solidarity against terrorism.
Sibal also called for action at the United Nations, stressing the need for a Security Council resolution condemning the attack. “We must see where global powers, especially China, stand—whether they support or oppose such a resolution,” he asserted. He further recommended that India signal to its international trade partners that those who maintain commercial relations with Pakistan should reconsider if they wish to continue accessing Indian markets.
The terrorist attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, leaving several more injured. The incident has triggered widespread public outrage and prompted the Indian government to take strong diplomatic and security measures against Pakistan.
In response, the Cabinet Committee on Security, chaired by PM Modi, decided to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 until Pakistan renounces cross-border terrorism. India also ordered the closure of the Integrated Check Post at Attari, cancelled SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme visas for Pakistani nationals, and directed Pakistani High Commission officials to leave India within a week.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army has intensified its operations in Jammu and Kashmir to track down and neutralize the perpetrators. Families of the victims continue to grieve, urging the government to take decisive action against those responsible for the brutal act.
