Priyanka Chaturvedi, Shiva Sena UBT MP, condemned the alleged online abuse faced by the wife of Navy personnel killed in the recent Pahalgam terror attack. She also criticised Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, for his "silence" on the matter. Indian Navy Officer Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, a native of Karnal, Haryana, was among the 26 people killed in the Pahalgam terror attack.

In the Pahalgam terror attack, a young Navy Man was shot dead, today his young wife is being maligned, character assassinated, abused, trolled and hated upon because she asked for justice over hate. She’s the one dealing with the loss, she’s the one who will have to live a life…

In a post on X, Chaturvedi alleged that individuals responsible for trolling and "spewing hate" are associated with the ruling party.

"In the Pahalgam terror attack, a young Navy Man was shot dead, today his young wife is being maligned, character assassinated, abused, trolled and hated upon because she asked for justice over hate. She's the one dealing with the loss, she's the one who will have to live a life only with memories of her slain husband and all that these sick trolls have to offer is more hate, how are they any different from the terrorists? one killed her husband physically, these keyboard haters are killing her spirit mentally. And we have an IT Minister who thinks he can turn a blind eye to it because the ones spewing the hate are his party's supporters. Shameful & inhuman," the Sena UBT MP posted on X.

Recently, Narwal had tied the knot, with his wedding reception held just days earlier on April 16. Narwal had travelled to Jammu and Kashmir on leave and was in Pahalgam with his wife when terrorists opened fire.

The widow of the deceased naval officer bid farewell during the solemn military ceremony, remembering her late husband as a man who lived with honour and left behind a legacy of courage. Amidst tears and tribute, she gathered her strength to share a few final words to the remains of her beloved, capturing both sorrow and admiration.

"I hope his soul rest in peace. He lived a good life. He made us proud, and we should keep this pride in every way," she said, her voice trembling with emotion as she broke down.

In the latest decision after the attack in Pahalgam, India imposed an immediate ban on the direct or indirect import and transit of all goods originating in or exported from Pakistan, regardless of their import status, effectively halting bilateral trade flows, according to a notification by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The move comes amid the growing tension between India and Pakistan following the dastardly attack in Pahalgam in which 26 tourists lost their lives.
