New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): In the aftermath of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arresting two men for allegedly harbouring terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack, BJP leader Shazia Ilmi said that she believed that details would emerge regarding the conspiracy on logistics, intelligence and complicity.
Shazia Ilmi said, "Just after Operation Sindoor, we have continuously seen how all our agencies, especially the NIA, have been making arrests to uncover the truth. How shocking and scandalous is the attack that has taken place on our country and its daughters? I believe much information and details will emerge regarding the conspiracy on logistics, intelligence and complicity."
A total of 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in a dastardly terrorist attack in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam valley in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. The National Investigation Agency said on Sunday that two men have been arrested for harbouring terrorists.
The NIA said that the two arrested accused, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar from Batkote in Pahalgam and Bashir Ahmad Jothar of Hill Park in Pahalgam, have disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack, and have also confirmed that they were Pakistani nationals affiliated to the proscribed terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
"Parvaiz and Bashir had knowingly harboured the three armed terrorists at a seasonal dhok (hut) at Hill Park before the attack," said the NIA, citing its investigations.
"The two men had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, who had, on the fateful afternoon, selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity, making it one of the most gruesome terrorist attacks ever."
NIA, which has arrested the two accused under Section 19 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, is further investigating the case (RC-02/2025/NIA/JMU), registered after the attack that shook the world on April 22, 2025. (ANI)
