Days after the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) arrest of two locals for allegedly harbouring terrorists, Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, declares no locals were involved in the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. This statement begs the question: who is responsible for the attack?

On May 27th, 2022, Omar Abdullah expressed his condolences for the victims while asserting the innocence of locals, emphasizing that the Valley has 'suffered enough' amidst the terrorism surge. He continues to urge the investigation to be conducted 'transparently.'

The May 24th terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu, and Kashmir injured eight tourists, six of whom are Ukrainians, and resulted in the death of Mohammad Maqbool Butt, a policeman. Despite CM Abdullah's statement, the NIA has detained two locals, Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, for questioning and alleged involvement in aiding the terrorists. These counterstatements from the nation's leaders raise questions about the truth behind these attacks and who to hold responsible.

The investigation may shed light on whether locals had any involvement in aiding the terrorists responsible for the attack in Pahalgam. As the investigation progresses, we can only hope for transparency and justice for all involved.
