FM Sitharaman cuts short US visit in view of Pahalgam terror attack
NEW DELHI: (Apr 23) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has cut short her official visit to the US in view of the dastardly terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed at 26 people, mostly tourists, on Tuesday.
Sitharaman is part of the five-member Cabinet Committee on Security headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who curtailed his two-day Saudi Arabia trip and reached New Delhi on Wednesday morning.
"Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt. @nsitharaman is cutting short her official visit to the USA-Peru. She is taking the earliest available flight back to India to be with our people in this difficult and tragic time," the finance ministry said in a post on X.
