Gautam Gambhir, India’s current cricket head coach and former BJP MP, has received a death threat from ‘ISIS Kashmir’. He has filed a formal complaint with the Delhi Police, seeking security measures for his family.
A Threat Amid Tensions
This threat comes after Gambhir strongly condemned the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, which killed 25 Indians and one Nepalese citizen. The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack. Gambhir expressed his condolences to the victims’ families, saying those responsible would be held accountable, vowing that India would retaliate.
Escalating Tensions
The Pahalgam attack has escalated tensions between India and Pakistan. Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, denied any involvement, despite evidence pointing to the contrary. The Jammu and Kashmir police and security forces are investigating, and have detained hundreds for questioning.
A Diplomatic Response
In response to the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a high-level CCS meeting. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, has called a National Security Committee meeting to discuss the situation. Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, announced the meeting, confirming that India’s response would be a key topic of discussion. The situation remains volatile, with both countries on high alert.
