India announced measures to Pakistan, one day after 26 people were killed by armed men during a cashmere attack administered by the Indians.
They include the closure of the main border crossing connecting the two countries, the suspension of a water sharing treaty and the expulsion of diplomats.
India has also canceled certain visas held by the Pakistani and ordered the holders to leave within two days, while the demanding that Pakistan renounces “support for cross -border terrorism” – something that Islamabad denies.
The murder of Tuesday tourists gathered in a place of Himalayan beauty in Pahalgam was one of the deadliest incidents in the cashmere administered by the Indians in recent years.
There has been a long -standing insurrection in the Muslim major region for several decades.
The Indian government responded furiously to the attack and reported that it maintains indirectly responsible Pakistan.
Indian security agencies think that a group called cashmere resistance was at the origin of the attack, although BBC News does not have the verified independently.
A man’s hunting for the responsible armed men continued on Wednesday evening.
The government of Pakistan said that its National Security Council – the country’s largest military and security organization – would meet on Thursday.
The day after Pahalgam’s attack, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was “concerned about the loss of the lives of tourists” and expressed condolences.
India has long accused successive governments in Islamabad of supporting armed groups in the region, which Pakistan firmly denies.
Under the measures announced Wednesday by India, Pakistani military advisers based at the Delhi Embassy were invited to leave immediately, and more diplomatic expulsions are scheduled for next week, a statement said.
Pahalgam’s attack is likely to rekindle longtime tensions between nuclear rivals.
In a statement, the Indian government said that “the authors of the attack will be brought to justice and that their sponsors have been held on their own.”
He said that India would be “relentless in the pursuit of those who have committed acts of terror, or conspired to make them possible”.
Earlier, the Minister of Defense, Rajnath Singh, also pointed out that India’s response would go beyond the targeting of the authors.
He said: “We will reach not only those who have perpetrated this incident, but also those who, seated behind the scenes, conspired to commit such acts on India’s soil.”
The attack was largely condemned by international leaders and generated indignation and mourning in India.
Eye witnesses have described chaotic and bloody scenes such as vacationers, including whole families, fled their lives.
Some witnesses said that it seemed that armed men were targeting non-Muslims, but others described the shooting as random.
Most of the victims were Hindu men, although a local Muslim is part of the victims.
The government of India has not given an official account to find out if people were targeted on the basis of religion.
