The terror attack was extensively condemned by people from all walks of lives including Bollywood celebrities. Despite JeM taking up the responsibility of attacks, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has asked India to provide concrete evidence against Jaish-e-Mohammed’s chief Masood Azhar which can hold him accountable in Pakistan’s court.

Taking to the microblogging site Twitter, renowned lyricist, Javed Akhtar slammed Qureshi for demanding proof of JeM’s involvement in the attack.
