Bangladesh’s ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has strongly condemned the recent Pahalgam terror attack, calling it a “grave threat to the creation of a humane world.” The attack, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists, has drawn widespread international condemnation.
In a statement issued from her exile in India, Hasina expressed deep sorrow for the victims and emphasized the need for global solidarity against terrorism. She remarked, “The terrorist attack in Kashmir is a deep wound on the heart of human civilization. Those responsible for such barbaric acts must be brought to justice.” She also reaffirmed her party, the Bangladesh Awami League’s, commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and extremism.
Hasina’s statement comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with India taking swift diplomatic measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and imposing visa restrictions on Pakistani nationals. The attack has further strained relations between the two nations, with India accusing Pakistan-based terror groups of orchestrating the incident.
The former Prime Minister also highlighted the importance of fostering solidarity among nations to combat extremist forces. She stated, “Our commitment lies in building a humane society, state, and world by fostering unity among people. We unequivocally condemn such acts of terrorism.”
As the global community rallies behind India, Hasina’s support underscores the need for collective action to address the growing threat of terrorism.
