At least 26 tourists were killed in a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, with eyewitnesses reporting that the terrorists specifically targeted tourists. The tragedy has sparked widespread reactions on social media, where the phrase “All eyes on Pahalgam” is being shared along with images from the attack.
The phrase “All eyes on” gained prominence last year as a rallying cry for humanitarian issues, particularly following the crises in Gaza’s Rafah. It has now resurfaced as a form of protest after the Pahalgam attack, drawing attention to the tragedy and its victims. Social media platforms like X and Instagram have been flooded with this message, expressing solidarity and outrage.
One of the most heartbreaking stories from the attack involves Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, a 26-year-old Navy officer, and his wife Himanshi Sowami, 24, who had only recently married. They were in Pahalgam for their honeymoon when they were caught in the violence. The images of the couple have been widely shared on social media, with many creating AI-generated versions to honor them.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had been in Saudi Arabia at the time, cut his trip short and returned to India. At the airport, he condemned the attack, offering condolences to the victims’ families and pledging to bring the perpetrators to justice.
