In a statement published by his office, Sharif said that, although Pakistan is concerned about the loss of tourists’ lives. [in Indian-administered Kashmir]”, The Committee reviewed the Indian measures announced on April 23, 2025 and called them unilateral, unfair, motivated political, extremely irresponsible and devoid of legal merit.”
“In the absence of any credible research and verifiable evidence, attempts to link Pahalgam’s attack with Pakistan are frivolous, devoid of rationality and logical defeat,” the statement added.
