Washington/New Delhi, Apr 25 (UNI) The US’ Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, said today the US stands in solidarity with India in the wake of the “horrific Islamist terrorist attack” in Pahalgam that targeted 26 Hindus, and said the US stands in support of India “as you hunt down those responsible for this heinous attack”.
In a post on X, Gabbard, a practising Hindu who visited India last month, posted:
“We stand in solidarity with India in the wake of the horrific Islamist terrorist attack, targeting and killing 26 Hindus in Pahalgam.
“My prayers and deepest sympathies are with those who lost a loved one, PM @narendramodi, and with all the people of India.
“We are with you and support you as you hunt down those responsible for this heinous attack.”
US President Donald Trump had been the first world leader to dial PM Modi in the wake of the terror attack to express his nation's support for India and offer assistance.
PM Modi has vowed to wreak vengeance on the perpetrators of the attack, and hunt them down to the corners of the earth. Notably, India has severely downgraded its ties with Pakistan in the wake of the attack, which has been linked to handlers across the border.
