Rahul Gandhi Meets Family of Pahalgam Attack Victim: Demands Justice and Strict and concrete action against the perpetrators
New Delhi, May 1, 2025: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a victim of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 30, 2025, to offer his condolences and express solidarity. The tragic attack claimed the lives of innocent civilians, leaving the nation in mourning.
In a heartfelt statement, Gandhi said, “Today, I met the family members of Shubham Dwivedi, who was martyred in the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and consoled them. The whole country stands with the bereaved families in this sad moment. Strict and concrete action should be taken against the terrorists, and the victim families should get justice. For this purpose, the united opposition has given full support to the government and has demanded a special session of Parliament.”
Addressing the media later, Gandhi emphasised on the need for decisive action, stating, “Whoever did it, wherever they are, they have to pay for this. And they have to pay for it properly, not in some half-hearted way. They should remember that they can’t do this with India.” His remarks reflect a strong call for accountability and a unified national response to terrorism.
The Congress leader’s demand for a special parliamentary session aims to facilitate a comprehensive discussion on counter-terrorism measures and support for the victims’ families. The opposition’s backing signals a collective resolve to address the growing security challenges in the region.
The Pahalgam attack has sparked widespread outrage, with citizens and leaders across the political spectrum condemning the act of violence. Gandhi’s visit and statements highlight the urgency of delivering justice and ensuring the safety of the nation’s citizens.
