Kapil Sibal attributes the Pahalgam terror attack to Pakistan. He urged Home Minister Amit Shah to declare Pakistan a terrorist state and file a case against it in an international court.
Pahalgam Attack: The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, has sparked widespread anger and outrage across the nation. The attack resulted in the deaths of several innocent people, and the incident is now under intense political and legal scrutiny. Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal termed the attack as Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and demanded an international court case.
Kapil Sibal's Demand
Kapil Sibal appealed to Home Minister Amit Shah to declare Pakistan a state supporting terrorism. He stated, "Those responsible for this attack should be prosecuted in an international court. I am confident that the opposition will also support this demand."
Controversial Remarks by Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir
Kapil Sibal also cited the recent statement by Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir. Munir had stated, "This will be our jugular vein; we will not forget it." Kapil Sibal considered this a clear indication of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and said that the attack was part of a well-planned conspiracy.
What was the strategy behind the terrorist attack?
Sibal stated that the attack was carried out specifically because Pahalgam is a high-security area, also housing the Amarnath Shrine. The attackers targeted this area, a prominent tourist destination in the Kashmir region of India.
Sibal's Appeal to the Home Minister
Kapil Sibal requested Home Minister Amit Shah to declare Pakistan a state supporting terrorism and appeal to the international community to boycott Pakistan. He also suggested filing a case against Pakistan in the International Court of Justice to hold the terrorists accountable.
