Robert Karabinchak and Sterley Stanley, both Democratic Assemblymembers from Middlesex, New Jersey, issued a statement about last week’s terror attack in Pahalgam, India.
Twenty-six people were killed in the attack last week. The Assemblymen stated that their thoughts are with the community as they cope with the loss and uncertainty.
“During our time as Assemblymen, we have had the privilege of attending many wonderful events that celebrate Indian culture,” they said. “Our district has long been home to a vibrant Indian community, and we can only imagine the worry and fear they felt after hearing the news from their homeland.”
Karabinchak and Stanley concluded their statement by urging everyone to remember that we have more in common than what divides us and asked the community to offer understanding and empathy to those who need support during this difficult time.
