The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has condemned major Western media outlets for downplaying and whitewashing the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 Hindu tourists were killed by terrorists backed by Pakistan. The HAF criticized the use of neutral terms and erasure of the ideological and religious nature of the attack. Global leaders, including US President Donald Trump, condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with India. In response, India has suspended cooperation with Pakistan and vowed a strong and measured response.
