Omar Abdullah attends Syed Adil Hussain Shah’s funeral
Hundreds including Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah attended Shah’s funeral in his ancestral village of Hapatnard on Wednesday.
He praised Shah and said that the pony operator was the household’s sole breadwinner.
He also condemned the attack, which mostly claimed tourists’ lives, and vowed full support for victims’ families.
“Syed Adil Hussain Shah confronted terrorists to save others. His sacrifice won’t be forgotten,” he stated.
India’s diplomatic retaliation
On Wednesday, India summoned Pakistan’s top diplomat in New Delhi, Saad Ahmad Warraich, and handed over a formal Persona Non Grata note for all its military attachés.
In a historic move, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, marking the first time the landmark agreement has been placed in abeyance. The MEA confirmed that the decision will stay in effect until Pakistan takes verifiable steps to end its sponsorship of cross-border terrorism.
In another major step, Pakistani citizens will no longer be allowed entry into India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES). All previously issued SVES visas to Pakistani nationals have been revoked, and those in India under the scheme have been given 48 hours to leave.
