Following the Pahalgam attack, President Trump’s remarks on India-Pakistan relations have sparked debate. His statement that they’ll “figure it out” has been interpreted as either neutrality or tacit approval for India to act. While some see it as acknowledging historical religious tensions, others, like analyst Christine Fair, view it as a signal for India to address Pakistan’s actions.

Union minister Piyush Goyal asserted that incidents like the Pahalgam terror attack will persist unless all Indians prioritise patriotism and nationalism. He affirmed India’s capability to respond strongly, emphasising that such acts won’t deter the nation’s spirit. Goyal expressed confidence in the swift resumption of Kashmir tourism and the continuation of the Amarnath Yatra, highlighting India’s resolve to eliminate terrorism.

Over 1,000 Pakistani nationals in Maharashtra have been directed to leave, following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Similar actions are taken in UP, Goa, and Uttarakhand.
