India, May 8 -- Foreign Secretary of India Vikram Misri, at a press briefing on Thursday, addressed the "mention of escalation" by Pakistan and said that the original escalation was the April 22 terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed by terrorists found to have links with the neighbouring country.
