JD Vance has urged Pakistan to cooperate with India and hunt down terrorists who are “sometimes” active on their soil. US Vice President JD Vance, reacting to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, expressed hope that it would not lead to “larger regional conflict”. The attack occurred when JD Vance was on his first visit to India with his family from April 21-24. Asked if he was concerned about India and Pakistan, Vance said, “Of course, I am concerned whenever you see a hotspot erupt, especially between two nuclear powers. We obviously remain in close contact with our friends in India and Pakistan.” “We hope that Pakistan, as a responsible party, will cooperate with India to hunt down and deal with terrorists who are sometimes active on their soil,” he added. On April 22, terrorists killed as many as 26 people, mostly Hindus, in the Baisaran grasslands of Falagam. Most of these people were tourists who had come to enjoy the green and beautiful landscape of the Kashmir Valley. This terrorist attack was the deadliest on civilians in Kashmir in recent years. According to External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, Vance also called Prime Minister Modi after the attack and assured him that the United States was ready to provide “all possible assistance in the joint fight against terrorism”.Pakistan once again resorted to unprovoked firing across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. It violated the ceasefire for the eighth consecutive day. Our army also gave a befitting reply to this. Let us know why Pakistan is repeatedly violating the ceasefire after the Pahalgam attack… According to the Indian Army, on the night of May 1 and 2, 2025, the Pakistani Army fired unprovoked with small arms across the Line of Control in Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Nowshera and Akhnoor areas of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army soldiers responded in a restrained and appropriate manner. Such violations have been going on across the Line of Control for the last six days. However, the Indian Army is giving a befitting reply to this. Such cowardly act of Pakistan is the result of the fear of India’s decisive fight against terrorism. It is fearing every moment that this time India will open a dangerous front with a retaliatory attack after the Balakot and Pulwama attacks. The neighbour is in this state of panic. Pakistan is scared since the Pahalgam terror attack. It is worried about India’s retaliation. The tension between the two countries is at its peak due to the terror attack in Pahalgam. 26 civilians were killed in the terror attack. Pakistan is afraid that India is preparing to take revenge of the innocent people of Pahalgam by carrying out an operation more dangerous than surgical and air strikes.
