Bill > HR0415

This resolution condemns a terrorist attack that occurred on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 innocent Hindu tourists were murdered by members of "The Resistance Front", an affiliate of the Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The resolution highlights that the attack was a deliberate assault targeting Hindus and is connected to the ongoing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. The Illinois House of Representatives expresses solidarity against terrorism, condemns the violence, and emphasizes that such attacks are an assault on democracy, freedom, pluralism, and basic human dignity. The resolution argues that remaining silent in the face of such brutality is a form of complicity and calls for bringing the perpetrators to swift justice. As a final action, the resolution mandates that copies of the document be presented to the Hindu American Foundation of Chicago and to Rohit Tanksale of Dunlap, symbolizing a commitment to raising awareness about the incident and supporting the affected community.
