"After the inhumane and barbaric murder of 26 innocent civilians in Pahalgam, it was expected that India would use its right to respond in an appropriate and proportionate way. I think the Government of India and Indian defence forces have gone out of the way to ensure that no military and civilian targets were hit in Pakistan. They have only hit the terror bases," he told reporters in Srinagar.
