Days after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Himanshi Narwal, wife of murdered Navy Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, denounced hatred and appealed for peace. She further specified that she did not want people “going against” Muslims and Kashmiris.

Rajesh Narwal affirmed that this is not the time of war, neither the time of terror. But if war is needed to wipe out terrorism, then it is right, he said.

On April 22, terrorists opened fire at Baisaran, around six kms from the resort town of Pahalgam, killing 26 people, mostly tourists, in what is the deadliest attack in J&K since the Pulwama strike.
