New Delhi: Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi visited Jammu and Kashmir on Friday (April 25) in his first visit since the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians lost their lives earlier this week.Gandhi met victims who were injured in the attack in a hospital in Srinagar and said that the objective of the attack was to “divide society and pit brother against brother”.“The intention behind this attack is to divide the society and pit brother against brother. At such a time, it is extremely important that every Indian stays united and stands together – so that we can foil this conspiracy of the terrorists,” he said.“It is sad that some people in the rest of the country are attacking our brothers and sisters in Kashmir. It is imperative that we all stay united, stand together, fight against this barbaric attack and defeat terrorism once and for all.”Gandhi, who also met Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, said that he had come to “understand the situation and help”.“I have come here to understand the situation and help. All the people of Jammu and Kashmir have condemned this horrific attack and have fully supported the country. I met an injured person. My condolences and affection are with those who have lost their loved ones. I want to assure everyone that the whole country stands united with them,” he said.“Yesterday we had a meeting with the government in which the united opposition condemned this attack and clearly said that whatever step the government wants to take, we will fully support it.”Gandhi’s visit comes a day after the Union government convened an all-party meeting in which it said that despite “everything going well” in recent years including businesses running and tourism returning, the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians lost their lives was a “lapse”.While Gandhi met Abdullah on Friday, the chief minister and his National Conference party’s representatives were not present at the all-party meeting as the Union government had not issued them any communication.“I also met the chief minister and the lieutenant governor. They briefed me about what happened, and I assured both of them that myself and our party will fully support them,” said Gandhi.
