In his emotional message, Sami wrote: “My heart shatters into a million pieces as I grapple with the devastating news & chilling visuals of the Pahalgam attack. A land so divinely beautiful, blessed with majestic mountains and serene valleys, has been desecrated by the brutal hands of hatred & senseless political agendas.”

The musician lamented the loss of innocent lives, stating they were “mercilessly snuffed out, leaving behind a trail of tears, shattered dreams, and inconsolable grief.”

Condemning The Violence

Sami questioned humanity’s capacity for such violence, asking: “How can humanity stoop to such depths of depravity? How can the beauty of nature be perverted to stage such horrific crimes against humanity?”

He emphasized that the tragic images from the attack “will never be forgotten & will forever represent the legacy of the barbaric terror that has killed thousands of innocent lives.”

The singer extended his condolences to the victims’ families, acknowledging the “unbearable weight of loss and sorrow” they now face. He concluded his message with a call for justice, writing: “May they find the strength to carry on, and ‘May Justice Be Served Once & For All’ to bring solace to their shattered lives. ‘We need this chapter to end FOREVER!!'”
