Bhaderwah, Jammu and Kashmir: Amid ongoing tensions following the terror attack in Pahalgam, a tourist visiting Bhaderwah voiced strong defiance against attempts to destabilize the region and discourage tourism. Speaking to reporters, the tourist condemned the attack and reaffirmed faith in Kashmir's enduring connection with India.

"The attack that happened a few days ago in Pahalgam, the act done by Pakistan, is very shameful, and our government will definitely give them a befitting reply," the tourist said. They suggested that the primary motive behind targeting tourists was to create fear and damage the growing tourism sector in Kashmir.

However, the tourist insisted that such efforts would fail. "Their aim behind attacking tourists was to reduce tourism here. But this will not happen. Kashmir was ours, is ours, and will remain ours," they declared confidently.

Expressing a sense of security, the tourist praised the Indian Army’s presence and the hospitality of the local people. "This motherland is ours, we have come here and will keep coming. We feel safe here. There is nothing to fear and the Indian Army is here. The people here are very good, there is no problem here," they added.
