The Indian diaspora members in Poland and Germany joined the rest of the world in condemning the Pahalgam terror attack that occurred on April 22, which left 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, dead.

Protest Rally In Frankfurt

The Indian diaspora members in Frankfurt participated in a protest rally on Sunday.

According to reports, 300 members of the Indian diaspora gathered close to the Hauptbhanhof (Central Railway Station) to demonstrate against the killing of tourists in one of the deadliest attacks witnessed by Jammu and Kashmir since the scrapping of Article 370 in 2019.

Expressing solidarity with the victims, the diaspora members passed through the prominent streets of Frankfurt.

The protesters were seen holding placards that criticised the cross-border terror attack supported by a Pakistan-based group.

They shouted slogans against Pakistan and expressed solidarity with terror victims, ANI reported.

A special prayer was also held in the Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple, Berlin, in memory of those who lost their lives in the terror attack.

Warsaw

The Hindu Mandir and Gurudwara Singh Sabha in Poland's Warsaw mourned the death of 26 victims in the attack.

The Hindu Mandir conducted a “Garud Puran Path,” offering condolences to the victims and their families, ANI reported.

The event saw participation from heads and members of various Indian diaspora associations in Warsaw, including the Tamil Association, Telugu Association, Sindhi Association, and Punjabi Association, the news agency reported.

Pahalgam Attack

Twenty-six people, including 23 Hindu male tourists, were killed by terrorists in Baisaran meadows, a popular destination in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, on April 22.

The terrorists- belonging to The Resistance Front (TRF), which is an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)- asked the victims to chant Islamic verses (kalma) and made them pull down their pants to be sure of their their non-Muslim religious identities (read circumcision)  before gunning them down before their families, including wives, children and daughters.

The massacre triggered a nationwide outrage and escalated India-Pakistan tensions as New Delhi vowed to avenge the killings.

In an immediate response, India suspended the landmark Indus River water-sharing treaty and closed the Attari-Wagah road border which acts a lifeline of Indo-Pak trade and people-to-people ties, besides expelling diplomats, downsizing high commissions and issuing a 48-hour deadline to Pakistani visa holders present in India to leave.
