Pakistan responded with tit-for-tat measures against India while tensions climbed following a militant attack on the cashmere administered by the Indians who killed 26 tourists.
Islamabad suspended all the visas issued to Indian nationals as part of an exemption program with immediate effect, as well as to expel some of the diplomats from its neighbor and to close its airspace to Indian flights.
Indian police have appointed three of the four armed armed men behind the attack, saying that two are Pakistani citizens and a third is a local cashmere man. Pakistan denies the Indian claims that it played a role in filming.
Tuesday’s attack saw an honor group on tourists near Pahalgam, a seaside resort in the contested region of the Himalayas.
Kashmir police administered by the Indians say that the three suspects named are members of the militant group based in Pakistan Lashkar-E-Taiba (Let). None of the men commented on the allegations.
A declaration by the National National Security Committee of Pakistan made attempted liaison of the Pahalgam attack in Pakistan, saying that there had been no credible investigation or verifiable evidence.
Prime Minister Narendra amended that “India will identify, follow and punish all the terrorists and their donors and we will pursue them to the ends of the earth”.
He said that “terrorists behind the killings, as well as their donors, will obtain a greater punishment than they can imagine”.
“Our enemies have dared to attack the soul of the country … The spirit of India will never be broken by terrorism.”
Delhi announced a series of diplomatic measures against Islamabad on Wednesday evening, one of them immediately closed the Atri -Wagah border between the two countries.
India has also canceled visa services to Pakistani nationals “with immediate effect”.
In its response, Pakistan has also rejected the suspension of India from the Industry Water Treaty – a water sharing treaty of six decades between neighbors – adding that any attempt to stop or divert water “will be considered an act of war”.
The country has closed its airspace to all airlines of Indian or Indian origin and has suspended all trade with India.
He also reduced the number of diplomats in the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad to 30 and asked Indian, naval and air advisers to leave Pakistan before April 30.
About 1,500 people across cashmere were detained for interrogation in the attack, police sources at BBC News said.
Schools, business and shops reopen after closing in the region after shots.
The police offered a reward of 2 million rupees ($ 23,000; £ 17,600) for anyone providing information on one of the attackers.
Visitors from different states in India have been killed, others seriously injured, in one of the deadliest attacks in recent years in the region.
An Indian naval officer on a honeymoon, a tourist guide who was the only family support for his family, and a businessman on vacation with his wife and children were among the victims.
An all-party meeting in Jammu-et-Cachemire expressed a deep shock and anxiety about what he called a “barbaric attack”.
The bodies of the victims arriving in their states of origin through India receive emotional farewells by their families and loved ones.
Meanwhile, reports come from parts of India from cashmere students facing harassment in the aftermath of the murders.
A spokesperson for the National Conference of the Minister-Chief Omar Abdullah said that several videos showing that students were harassed in colleges and other places broadcast online.
Nasir Khuehami, head of the Jammu-et-Cachemire student association, shared a video from a right Hindu group threatening to physically assault Muslim students in cashmere in the state of northern Uttarakhand to ensure that they leave.
The BBC has not been able to independently check any of these clips.
