Protesters went down the streets of the capital of New Delhi and several other cities in India after a cashmere attack by India on Tuesday, which killed at least 26 people, most of them.
Police called the “terrorist attack” incident and blamed the militants fighting the Indian regime.
While the High Ministers and Indian officials have not yet provided details on Tuesday's attack, a large part of the Indian media and political commentators immediately blamed Pakistan for this, without citing evidence.
Also on Wednesday, India closed its main border passage with Pakistan, suspended a water sharing treaty and dedicated diplomatic links with its neighbor.
Pakistan denies any involvement in the attack. “We are concerned about the loss of the lives of tourists,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan said in a statement while wishing the injured rapid recovery.
Officials said 24 of the people killed were Indian tourists, one in Nepal and a local tourist guide.
At least 17 others were injured during the incident, which was one of the deadliest attacks of the years in the Himalayan region, claimed by India and Pakistan.
“Cashmere resistance”, a group previously unknown, claimed the responsibility of the attack on social networks.
The group said that the authorities had settled more than 85,000 “foreigners” in the region and said that the targeted people were not “ordinary tourists” but “were linked and affiliated to Indian security agencies”.
The group's messages could not be checked independently.
