Connolly Statement on Tensions Between India and Pakistan

Washington, May 6, 2025
Congressman Gerald E. Connolly (D-VA), a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, released the following statement:

“On April 22, heartless militants killed innocent tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, which I vehemently condemn. Subsequently, India and Pakistan have severed diplomatic ties, and India has conducted military strikes on sites in Pakistan. I strongly urge India and Pakistan to recommit to de-escalation, diplomatic negotiations, and securing justice for the victims. Further conflict is not a way to advocate for the victims of terrorism.”
