Black ribbons and assemblies to pay homage: Delhi's lawyers condemn Pahalgam terror attack
Lawyers across Delhi Wednesday condemned Tuesday's Pahalgam terror attack — the deadliest on civilians in the country since the Mumbai 26/11 shootings — in which 25 tourists and a Valley resident were killed at a meadow in the Jammu and Kashmir area. Condemning the attack, the Delhi High Court Bar Association requested lawyers to wear black ribbons while appearing in Court. 'The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) strongly condemns the dastardly and cowardly terrorist attack on the lives of innocent tourists at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir and such heinous acts challenging the unity, integrity and sovereignty of our Nation,' read a DHCBA circular. 'The members are requested to wear black ribbons while appearing in the court, as a mark of protest against this terrorist attack,' the circular added. The New Delhi Bar Association (NDBA) in Patiala House Court requested lawyers to assemble in the Central Hall at the Court complex to pay homage to the 'departed souls'. 'It is with profound sorrow that, on behalf of NDBA members, we express our deepest condolence to the families of innocent citizens who lost their lives in the 'Brutal Terrorist Massacre' in Pahalgam, Kashmir on 22.04.2025,' read the NDBA circular. 'We stand in solidarity with the victims and their families and strongly condemn the cowardly act of violence…We request the members to assemble today in the Central Hall at 04:30 pm to pay homage to the departed souls,' it added. Sources indicated the death toll in the Pahalgam terror attack could go up since several others have sustained serious injuries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who cut short his two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, promised that 'those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice… they will not be spared'. He was briefed about the terror attack by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who later reached Srinagar to review the situation. A team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers have reached the spot, and one of the four attackers has been identified, said officials.
