Kashmiris have denounced last week’s deadly militant assault on tourists in Pahalgam but fear they will be caught in the widening Indian clampdown.

"If they stop water, all of this will turn into the Thar desert, the whole country," one farmer said. "We'll die of hunger."

Several cross-party MPs overwhelmingly condemned the killing of 26 innocent tourists in the terrorist attack last week, with many raising concerns for their Indian and Pakistani diasporas

Pakistan refuted India's claims regarding the Pahalgam attack. They accused India of backing terrorism within Pakistan. Pakistan presented Abdul Majeed's arrest as evidence. India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and closed borders.

Pakistan’s military blames India for orchestrating terrorism inside its borders following the Pahalgam attack.
