"They provide 5-star accommodation to terrorists": Sufi council chief slams Pakistan over Pahalgam terror attack

Ajmer (Rajasthan) [India], April 27 (ANI): All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council Chairman Syed Naseruddin Chishty on Saturday lashed out at Pakistan over the Pahalgam terror attack, calling it a country that provides "five-star accommodation to terrorists" and reiterated that India will respond to the attack.
Speaking with ANI, Chisty said, "Pakistan and its leaders are rattled. If blood is to be shed, it will be of those terrorists and their patrons who are protecting them... Now it is true that Pakistan is the safest country for terrorists and terrorism and they provide 5-star accommodation to terrorists. India knows how to respond, and it will respond. Very soon you will get a befitting reply."
Chisty's statement came in response to Pakistan People's Party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's anti-India remark following the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty.
Earlier, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir condemned the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, saying that it was an attack on humanity.
Speaking to ANI, Mir said, "According to the reports coming from the ground, terrorists separated men and women, and killed the men after asking their religion. This means it was an agenda. They not just targeted humanity and Kashmiriyat, they also targeted the livelihood of Kashmiris. The entire country has to defeat this agenda now. Now is the time for the country to come together and stand up in front of this fake agenda that has been set up. Jammu and Kashmir and the whole of India have never stood up together against terrorism in such large numbers, as is being seen now."
The attack in Pahalgam occurred on Tuesday at Baisaran meadow, where terrorists targeted tourists, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, and leaving several others injured. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike, which claimed the lives of 40 CRPF jawans.
Following the attack, the Central government has said that the terrorists responsible for the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam and the conspirators behind it will face severe punishment. Opposition parties have expressed their full support for the government in any action against perpetrators of the terror attack. (ANI)
