Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has joined the rising chorus of sportspeople expressing grief and indignation over the heinous terrorist incident that took place on April 22 in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
The incident, which killed at least 28 people and injured over 20 more, has been dubbed one of the bloodiest in the region since the 2019 Pulwama bombing.
The attack prompted a significant security response in the region. The Indian Army, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, and government agencies have started a massive manhunt to catch the offenders.
Meanwhile, national leaders such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
Taking to Instagram, Siraj penned a powerful and emotional message condemning the brutality.
It read: “Just read about the horrific and shocking terrorist attack in Pahalgam. To target and kill innocent civilians in the name of religion is pure evil...No cause, no belief, no ideology can ever justify such a monstrous act.
Yeh kaisi ladai hai... jahaan insaan ki jaan ki koi keemat hi nahi.. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and trauma the families must be going through.. May the families find the strength to survive this unbearable grief. We are so sorry for your loss. I hope this madness ends soon and these terrorists are found and punished, without mercy.”
