Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Saturday to meet families affected by recent cross-border shelling by Pakistan. Conducting door-to-door visits, Gandhi assessed damage, consoled grieving families, and interacted with injured victims and students. Calling the shelling a “big tragedy,” he pledged to raise their concerns on a national platform. Notably, he visited the home of twin siblings killed in the shelling. His visit follows heightened tensions after India’s Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s retaliatory attacks, which killed 28 across J&K. Gandhi praised the courage of affected families, saying they carry the heaviest burden in times of conflict.
