Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, mourning the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, said, "I won't demand statehood over dead bodies." Addressing a special Assembly session, Abdullah deferred political demands out of respect for the victims, stressing that human lives must not become political bargaining chips. He read the names of the deceased, praised local heroes like Adil who saved tourists, and highlighted Kashmiris' spontaneous protests against terrorism. "Militancy will end when people support us," he said. Abdullah also thanked Indian states for protecting Kashmiri students facing backlash after the attack, underlining unity in a time of grief.
