KOA Strongly Condemns the Heinous Terror Attack on Hindu Tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir

President Uphaar Kotru keynotes Congressional Briefing on Pakistan's Proxy War Against Hindus at Capitol Hill

The Kashmiri Overseas Association (KOA) expresses its deepest shock, grief, and outrage at the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Anantnag district, Jammu & Kashmir, India. April 22 will forever be remembered as the day that at least 26 innocent tourists were massacred by radical Islamist terrorists after being identified as Hindus in the most dehumanizing manner. They were targeted solely for their Hindu faith.

Congressional Briefing

The Kashmiri Overseas Association stands in unwavering solidarity with India, her brave armed forces, and the Government led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi as they undertake Operation Sindoor to defend the nation’s sovereignty and safeguard its citizens. We salute the valor of those on the front lines, who remain resolute in their commitment to national security and the protection of our shared values.
