Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Pralhad Joshi said the Pakistan-instigated terrorists attacked innocent tourists visiting Pahalgam. For many years, the nation had been the victim of terrorist attacks. In recent years, the terror activities had come down due to effective measures of the Central Government. “The local people of J&K were happy with the recent developments. However, terrorists have attacked again. We will give them a fitting reply,” he said.
