The Congress party has called an emergency meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), its highest decision-making body on Thursday, in light of the dastardly terror attack.

Jammu and Kashmir, which witnessed the massacre of 26 tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon, has seen an increase in infiltration through the International Border, with 40-50 attempts being made in the past 6-8 months alone, officials have said.

People’s Conference chief Sajad Lone on Wednesday led the party’s candlelight vigil against the Pahalgam terror attack and said that all of Kashmir was “shedding tears of blood”.
