Latehar: The Muslim Youth Committee of Latehar organized a candle march on Sunday evening to pay tribute to the innocent tourists killed in the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The march started from Amwatikar Chowk and concluded at Collectorate Chowk.
Participants held placards reading “Down with Pakistan” and “Down with Terrorism”, and raised slogans expressing solidarity against terrorism.
Mehtab Alam, addressing the gathering, condemned the attack, calling it a cowardly act by Pakistan. “This attack is an attempt to disturb the unity and harmony among India’s 1.4 billion people,” he said. “Killing innocents after asking their religion reflects the most despicable and condemnable mindset of terrorism.”
Mufti Mudassar strongly condemned the attack and urged the central government to take strict action. He said, “Every Muslim in India is born from this soil and will be laid to rest in this soil. Patriotism runs in our veins.”
Javed Akhtar and Aftab Alam also spoke, stating that the incident has plunged the nation into deep mourning and inflicted a grave wound on humanity.
The march saw a large turnout of committee members and local citizens, including:
