On April 26, Omar Abdullah dismissed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks on the Pahalgam terror attack, saying he does not wish to give much importance to statements coming from Islamabad.
He said,” First of all, they did not even recognise that something had happened in Pahalgam. First, they said that India was behind it. For the people who made allegations against us in the first place, it is difficult to say anything about it now. I don’t want to give much importance to their statements. Whatever happened is unfortunate and it should not have happened.”

Addressing a passing-out parade at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, situated in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PM Shehbaz said, “Continuing with its role as a responsible country, Pakistan is open to participating in any neutral, transparent and credible investigation.
Calling Pakistan the “world’s frontline state against terrorism,” Shehbaz Sharif further claimed that the country has “endured immense loss.”
On April 22, terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen while leaving several others injured. It was noted that this attack came in the wake of the successful holding of elections in the Union Territory and its steady progress towards economic growth and development.
