"I strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. The entire nation is united in fighting the scourge of cross-border terrorism," he said.

Kharge said, "These dastardly targeted attacks are a blot on humanity. News reports indicate that precious lives have been lost."
