Bill > SR0063

This resolution urges the Michigan congressional delegation, the U.S. government, and the governments of India and Pakistan to condemn terrorism and violence against civilians in the context of the ongoing dispute over the Jammu and Kashmir region. The resolution highlights a specific terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, near Pahalgam, where militants killed 26 people, primarily targeting Hindu tourists, which led to increased tensions between India and Pakistan. The conflict escalated to include diplomatic expulsions, visa cancellations, and military confrontations, though a ceasefire was reached on May 10. The resolution calls for condemnation of such acts of violence, emphasizes the importance of religious tolerance, and requests that copies of the resolution be transmitted to key diplomatic representatives, including congressional delegation members and ambassadors from both countries. The underlying goal is to promote a peaceful resolution to the long-standing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over the Jammu and Kashmir region.
