STORYLINE:
Multiple protests were held in the Indian capital on Friday against the deadly attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir which killed at least 26 people, most of them tourists.
Protesters gathered in New Delhi, where markets were shut in protest against the attack.
They waved Indian flags and repeated chants of "down with Pakistan."
India has described the massacre in which gunmen killed 26 people, most of them Indian, near the resort town of Pahalgam in India-controlled Kashmir as a "terror attack."
It accused Pakistan of backing it. Pakistan denied any connection to the attack.
It was claimed by a previously unknown militant group calling itself the Kashmir Resistance.
Tuesday’s attack in Kashmir was the worst assault in years targeting civilians in the restive region.
Since then, tensions have risen dangerously between India and Pakistan, which have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir, which is split between them and claimed by both in its entirety.
On Wednesday, India suspended a crucial water-sharing treaty that has withstood two wars between the countries and closed their only functional land border crossing.
A day later, India revoked all visas issued to Pakistani nationals with effect from Sunday.
Pakistan responded angrily that it has nothing to do with the attack, and cancelled visas issued to Indian nationals, closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or Indian-operated airlines and suspended all trade with India.
Nationals from both sides began heading back to their home countries through the Wagah border near Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore on Friday.
Islamabad also warned that any Indian attempt to stop or divert the flow of water would be considered an “act of war.”
The suspension of the water treaty could lead to water shortages at a time when parts of Pakistan are already struggling with drought and declining rainfall.
