Thousands of people belonging to the Indian community assembled at Melbourne city's Federation Square in Australia on Saturday to protest against the terror attack in Pahalgam town in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 that left 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, dead.

The demonstrators held placards and chanted slogans such as “Pakistan Stop Terrorism,” “Pakistan Army Terrorist Army,” and “Hindu Lives Matter", reported ANI.

Similar protests were held outside the Pakistani Embassy in London and the Nepali capital Kathmandu.

Baisaran Attack

Jammu and Kashmir had attracted a large number of tourists ever since the Centre scrapped Article 370 in 2019.

On April 22, Pahalgam town's Baisaran Valley echoed with the sounds of gunshots when terrorists shot dead 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, marking one of the deadliest strikes i the Valley in the past five years.

Survivors said the gunmen asked some victims about their religion and demanded they recite Islamic verses. Those who failed or hesitated were shot in the head.

Security officials said at least five terrorists split into smaller groups and attacked three zones in the meadow.

Lasting under ten minutes, the assault left 26 dead, including 25 tourists and a local pony operator.

Two security personnel — from the Navy and the Intelligence Bureau — were also killed.
