Canadian leaders have strongly condemned the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including tourists. Senator Leo Housakos, representing Quebec and former Speaker of the Senate of Canada, called the incident a “barbaric assault on faith and humanity” and urged for swift justice.
“The massacre of Hindu tourists in India is not just terrorism–it’s a barbaric assault on faith and humanity. The perpetrators must face swift and uncompromising justice. The world must not stay silent,” Housakos posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney also expressed deep shock at the violence, reaffirming Canada’s condemnation of terrorism. “I am horrified by the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, a senseless and shocking act of violence that has killed and injured innocent civilians and tourists,” Carney stated. “Canada strongly condemns this terrorist attack. We offer our condolences to the victims and their families.”
The attack occurred on Tuesday in the scenic Baisaran meadow area of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, turning a serene tourist destination into a site of horror. Among the victims were 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen. Several others sustained serious injuries in what has become one of the most devastating attacks in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2019 Pulwama bombing.
