Shiv Sena (UBT) workers led demonstrations on Wednesday in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, criticizing the Union government for its perceived failure to prevent it. The protest took place at Variety Square in the city.

In a symbolic act, activists broke bangles before placards featuring images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, while shouting anti-Pakistan slogans. City Sena (UBT) chief Nitin Tiwari claimed that promises made by Modi and Shah about eliminating violence in Jammu and Kashmir post Article 370 had not been fulfilled.

In Nashik, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) also organized a protest, where participants struck images of Pakistan's national flag and its prime minister with footwear and set them aflame. MNS's Dinkar Patil emphasized the need for political unity and introspection on how the attack occurred.
