The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a petition seeking a judicial probe into the Pahalgam terror attack. The top court also pulled up the petitioners, asking them to withdraw the petition immediately.
‘Can’t demoralise our forces’
The Supreme Court asked the portioners: “Is this the way you want to demoralise our forces?”
The Apex Court said judges are not experts in probe of terror cases. The top court said, “In this crucial time, each and every citizen of country joined hands to fight terror.” On April 22, terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen while leaving several others injured.
Attack on Kashmiri students
The plea highlighted the recent attacks on Kashmiri students across the country and cited the concerns raised by the Jammu and Kashmir government.
“I request the people of the country not to consider Kashmiris as enemies. It is not our fault. All of this is done by Pakistan. Kashmiris have also tolerated this for 35 years… There are reports that our children are being targeted in other states. This should be stopped,” Abdullah had said.
The Supreme Court asked the petitioners to approach the High Courts. Justice NK Singh said, “For prayer regarding students, you can go to the high courts.”
