The Baloch Welfare Association in India (BWAI ) has strongly condemned the brutal and cowardly terrorist attack that took place in picturesque town of Pahalgam in Kashmir on 22 April 2025. This inhumane act has taken the lives of innocent civilians and left many injured, striking at the heart of peace and humanity, added the association. According to the authorities, at least 26 tourists (who arrived there from different parts of India) were killed and 17 others wounded in the devastating terror attack.

“Our deepest condolences go out to the families of the victims who lost their lives in this horrific tragedy. We share in their grief and stand in solidarity with them during this painful time. Every innocent life lost is a loss to our entire nation. We also pray for the speedy and full recovery of all those who were injured. The pain and suffering caused by such senseless violence must never be accepted as normal — we must continue to speak out against it, and take a united stand for peace,” said a statement issued by the BWAI.

The association also urged the Indian Union government in New Delhi and the international community to take strong action to stop cross-border terrorism once and for all. These repeated attacks against innocent civilians must be met with firm resolve. The support and safe havens for terrorists across the border must be dismantled to secure lasting peace, it asserted.

“As Indians, we deeply love our country and our people. No act of terror can weaken our spirit or divide our unity. The Baloch community in India stands firmly with the people of Pahalgam and all those affected by this attack,” stated the BWAI, adding, “Together, we must rise above fear, defeat hatred, and build a future rooted in peace, dignity, and justice for all.”
