Hello, friends! In the Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam, known as India's mini Switzerland, this tourist spot witnessed a horrific terrorist attack So horrible that it shook our country to its core. According to the information we have so far, at least 26 people have lost their lives in this terrorist attack.
17 people are injured. The 26 who died were males. This high altitude location, can be reached either by hiking or on a mule.
So for the rescue operations, helicopters had to be used. While locals, used mules to bring back the injured people back. At least 12 tourists were admitted to the Pahalgam Hospital.
And the doctors said that all 12 of them are now in a stable condition. In this terrorist attack, people were targeted based on their religion. One of the victims was a Muslim, Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a Pahalgam local, he worked as a mule handler.
One was a Christian. And the remaining 24 victims were all Hindus. They were tourists from different places.
Like 32-year-old Neeraj Udhwani from Jaipur, he used to work in the UAE. He was home for his vacation. He attended a wedding in Shimla with his wife .
And then later they went to see Kashmir. Another victim was from Nepal, Sudeep Neupane. Additionally, many IAF, IB, and Navy officers were also present.
Indian Air Force Corporal from Arunachal, Tage Hailyang. Manish Ranjan, a Section Officer at Intelligence Bureau, had taken LTC to visit Kashmir travelling from Bihar, with his wife and two children. 26-year-old Indian Navy Lieutenant from Haryana, Vinay Narwal, got married only 6 days ago.
He was on his honeymoon with his wife. A honeymoon after which his wife returned as a widow. In a video, he was heard saying that she was having Bhel Puri with her husband.
When a man approached them saying that they might not be Muslims. Saying this, he shot him. "He said that he doesn't look Muslim and shot him.
" Pune's HR professional, Asavari, reported a similar experience. She said that when she saw the terrorists firing at a distance, her family went to a nearby tent for security. But the terrorists reached there too.
And asked her father to recite Islamic verses. And when he couldn't, they shot him in cold blood. There was no one to help.
Neither the police nor the army. The people who had brought them there on a mule, helped Asavari, her mother, and a female relative in their return journey. "Many of the handlers" "carried them on the horses to the hospitals.
" "Along with me there were many others" "we carried them on our shoulders" "to take them to the hospital. " About 20 minutes later, the Indian army reached there and rescued them. A shadow group of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, TRF has taken responsibility for this attack.
TRF stands for The Resistant Front. Two years ago, when TRF had threatened Kashmiri journalists, the Ministry of Home Affairs had then declared it to be a terrorist organisation under UAPA's framework. A member of this terror group, Sheikh Sajjad Gul was also declared a terrorist under UAPA's 4th Schedule.
According to an intelligence assessment, it is suspected that Lashkar-e-Taiba's top commander Saifullah Kasuri was one of the conspirators. A reoprt published in the Indian Express states that according to the initial probe, there might have been 4-6 terrorists who carried out this attack. Based on eyewitness' statements, J&K police have released sketches of 3 Pakistanis who attacked.
A government source told The Hindu that it is suspected that there were 2 Kashmiri youths among the terrorists who had gone to Pakistan in 2018. Anantnag's Adil Guri and Pulwama's Ahsan. Government sources revealed that they recently infiltrated India with Pakistani terrorists and there were some inputs about their movement.
Raj Shekhar Jha's report in Times of India reports that a source mentioning that there were prior inputs of the terrorists scoping out some hotels in the first week of April. If true, this means that there were no intelligence failure. Despite having the intelligence inputs, this attack happened.
Friends, this might remind you of the Pulwama attack. In June 2019, the Ministry of State for Home Affairs, G Kishan Reddy told the Rajya Sabha that there was no intelligence failure. Later, a Frontline investigation had also revealed that between 2nd January and 13th February, there were 11 intelligence inputs.
Warning that there could be a 'Qisas' attack. A strike with the intent of revenge. During the investigation after the Pulwama attack, Mudasir Ahmad Khan was found to be the mastermind.
Two intelligence inputs related to that were already present. The intelligence input of 24th January 2019 reported that, some terrorists reported Mudasir Ahmad Khan to carry out a 'Fidayeen' attack in the coming days. This group is in contact with the Shahid Baba Group.
The same group whose member was the Pulwama attack bomber Adil Ahmad Dar. The intelligence input from 25th January had information about Mudassir Ahmad Khan's location. In bold letters, it was reported that Mudassir Khan had been spotted with four foreign mercenaries in Midoora and Lam Tral villages.
This input had also warned that they were planning an attack which could be carried out in Awantipora or Pampore. Only 16-17 km away from Pulwama. Imagine this, friends, even before the Pulwama attack, Mudasir was a known terrorist wanted for his connection to the attack on the CRPF camp in 2017.
An input from 12th February was marked to be 'Top Secret,' 'Matter Most Urgent. ' It contained information about a Twitter handle Shah GET 313. Operated by Pakistan's Jaish-e-Muhammad's handlers.
It had hinted that on J&K's security forces' route, an IED blasts could be carried out. There was also a video demonstrating IED blasts. Even the intelligence input from 13th February contained a similar final warning.
But friends, despite this, more than 2,500 soldiers were refused to be airlifted. They were sent together in the same convoy. The former IG of CRPF had later raised objections about this.
"Sending 2,547 soldiers," "and having 78 vehicles in a convoy," "I believe that it was technically wrong. " Think about it, friends. Despite having such detailed intelligence inputs, the Pulwama attack happened.
How did it happen? That's the real question. I don't know, do you?
If neither I nor you know, then whom should we ask about where did everything go wrong? "I want an answer. " "These terrorrists," "from where do they get the weapons and ammunition?
" "It comes from beyond our borders. " "And the central government has total control over the borders. " "The central government controls the Border Security Force.
" "Infiltrators enter Indian territories. " "The infiltrators incite the terrorists. " "The terrorists attack us and run away.
" "MrPrime Minister, you are bound to answer," "you control the borders," "you are tasked with social security," "you control the BSF, Army, everything," "even the Navy," "so how do these foreign infiltrators infiltrate? " Any sane person, even an intelligent child, can understand that the security of the country is the responsibility of the elected government. So our questions need to be aimed towards them.
In December 2016, at a rally, Prime Minister Modi claimed that the demonetisation had broken the back of terrorism. So the question arises, why haven't the terrorist attacks stopped since then? In Jammu and Kashmir alone, there was the Nagrota Army Base attack in November 2016.
In July 2017, the Amarnath Yatra attack. In February 2018, the Sunjuwan Military Station attack. In February 2019, the Pulwama attack.
In March 2019, the Jammu Bus Stand grenade blast. In June 2019, the Indian Paramilitary Police were attacked in Awantipora. The Poonch Rajouri attack of 2023.
The Reasi attack of 2024. And now in 2025, the Pahalgam attack. Terrorist attacks are taking place one after the another.
And the media of our country lacks the courage to question the government. The media asking questions to the government is something that happened before 2014. Even the films, films like A Wednesday were released, where the government was questioned about terrorism.
"This is why we elect a government. " "To govern our country. " "Police force, Intelligence" "are more than equipped for this pest control.
" "But you don't take any actions. " "If my child steps out of my home, I want that" "he can go anywhere and at any time without fear. " "In a train, in a bus, anywhere at all.
" Back in those days, people used to protest together and the politicians used to resign, accepting their mistakes. Like, after Mumbai's 26/11 attack, Home Minister Shivraj Patil resigned because of public demand. And Maharashtra's Chief Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh also resigned.
I'm not saying that they did something great by resigning. The thing is, in any functioning democracy, this is a basic thing. But our country has since lost that basic common sense.
Now, in this New India, look at a person like Arnab Goswami. Arnab Goswami is holding the Supreme Court responsible for the Pahalgam attack. "There was no need in my view" "for the Supreme Court to waste time into whether" "the abrogation of A370 was valid or not.
" "It was a waste of time because" "with the greatest of respect to the judges," "they will not take responsibility for the security situation. " This is the same guy whose WhatsApp chat leaked showing that after the Pulwama attack, he had written a WhatsApp message saying that "This attack we have won like crazy. " He was celebrating being the first to cover the Pulwama attack.
The pro-government media anchors cannot ask a simple question that in a place with so many tourists, why was there no proper security? When a correspondent from the channel Aaj Tak tried saying this, he was stopped mid-sentence. "This isn't a joke.
" "2,000 tourists were gathered at a picnic spot. " "There were no on duty police, no-" [Loud music played making the correspondent inaudible. ] Even children are questioning this.
"The government has lost it. " "This was such a large scale terrorist attack," "But they don't know anything. " "There's an army base at the bottom," "but they didn't know anything.
" Friends, look at this report from 10 days ago. The Defence Ministry told the Standing Committee of the Parliament that the current number of officers in the army is 42,095. While the authorised strength is 50,538.
There is a shortage of about 8,400 army officers in the country. And 92,400 soldiers. In total, the Army suffers from a shortage of more than 100,000 army personnel.
Because of this shortage, the soldiers are shifted from one place to another at a rate higher than before. So the question is, what is causing this shortage? I don't know, but let's read this report published in The Telegraph in August 2022.
It states that during the two years of COVID, there was no recruitment to the army. That's why there's a shortage of more than 100,000 troops in the Army. And now, read the headline of this report.
Over the next three years, they are planning to cut the army strength by 200,000. Does this make any sense? A ministry official reported that the army is 'rationalising' its troop strength.
It is being seen as an attempt to reduce its salary and pension expenses. Many people have alleged that the government is trying to save money on the army officers' salary and pension. And that's why they are planning to reduce the troop strength.
Vinay Narwal's sister cried in front of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini saying that her brother was alive for 1. 5 hours. Had the army been there, he could have been saved.
But there was no one. No one. "No one came there" "he was alive for 1.
5 hours," "but no one came there. " "Had the Army been there" "he could have been saved. " "but no one came, no one.
" "No facilities, army or the police. " "But when politicians visit," "they are treated like VIPs with convoys and helicopters. " The pro-government media doesn't care about this.
When the Kashmiri Pandits were on strike for more than 300 days because of their security concerns, none of them reported on this news. On the other hand, billionaire Mukesh Ambani and his family get the highest level of Z-plus security cover. With a total of 55 security personnel, out of which more than 10 are highly trained NSG commandos.
Times of India reported that Mukesh's son Anant's watch is worth more than ₹600 million. Neeta Ambani's necklace is worth ₹5 billion. They spent more than ₹50 billion on the wedding.
But for their security they want highly trained NSG commandos trained on government funding. NSG commandos trained on our tax money. The pro-government media has no interest in this.
Billionaires and Bollywood celebrities get Y+ and Z+ security covers. I don't mind the security covers given to Mukesh Ambani and other celebrities. But the question here is, what are the average citizens getting?
Now some people will say that VIP politicians, businessmen, and film stars are important for our country. That's why their greater security covers are justified. But the civilians who were killed in Pahalgam, they must've been equally important to their families too, right?
To their wives, children, and parents, they would've meant the world. So the question is why are the lives of common people so cheap? We're killed in trains accidents, in stampedes, when hoardings and bridges fall, railed under someone's Porsche or Lamborghini, or by falling into the open manholes in the roads.
And sometimes in terrorist attacks. When it comes to the security of the citizens, the government prefers to worry about the salary and pension paid to the army troops. Look at the police in different states, how overworked they are.
I have talked about this repeatedly in many videos. We need to double the number of police personnel in our country. More training facilities should be provided to the police, to improve the law and order of our country.
For better security of the citizens. But no one cares about this. Law and order has become such a joke in New India that it's unfathomable.
Every other day, we get to see a new video of someone being beaten on the road. While the police do nothing. These goons freely destroy a studio or a restaurant.
And the police just watches. Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the people behind this terrorist attack will not be spared. Good.
Arrest them and punish them quickly. But along with this, the question is does your government have any solution to prevent such terrorist attacks? Can your government give assurance that such terrorist attacks won't happen again in the future?
To give assurance to Salman Khan, former Chief Minister Eknath Shinde went to Khan's home. But who will assure the common citizens? Friends, the thing is, why would any government put in so much efforts to come up with a solution when the pro-governemt media, is presenting the government's failures as achievements?
What do the TV news channels show? PM Modi left Saudi Arabia's tour in the middle to come to India. PM Modi called a meeting at the airport.
Look at these thumbnails. "Angry Modi" "His Order Shocked the World. " "Gave the Army a Free Rein.
" "Counteraction Began. " The brainwashed people who believe this, live in their world of imagination. A world where the earth revolves around Modi.
Anyway, coming back to our topic, Jammu and Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the ones responsible for this attack are animals and inhuman, worthy of contempt. No word is enough to condemn them properly. He expressed his condolences for the families of the victims.
Kashmiris observed a shutdown as a sign of mourning. Some marched as a mark of unity. And some took out candlelight marches for the victims.
Outside Kashmir, prominent Muslim organisations like Jamat-Ulama-e-Hind, condemned the terror attack. All India Imam Organisation's head, Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi said that during Friday prayers, a strong anti-terror message will be given from 550,000 mosques. Prayers will be made for the victims.
Many Muslim countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, and Qatar have also condemned the attack. Indian Muslims have expressed their opposition to terrorism through social media posts. People shouuldn't fight among themselves on religious lines.
That way we can defeat the intentions of the terrorists. Because that's what terrorists want. To spread religious hatred in India, making people fight each other, and eventually break apart our country.
Can any true patriot ever want this? Never. A patriot would want to strengthen their country.
To be unyielding. Patriots will have only one slogan. Long Live Indian Unity.
I want you to write this message of unity in the comments below, if you agree with it. I just don't understand why do BJP supporters hate this slogan so much? I challenge all the BJP leaders to write on their social media, Long Live Indian Unity.
I don't believe that most of them would dare to write this. Because these fake nationalists don't take any breaks from spreading hatred, to speak about Indian Unity. The remains of the victims hadn't even cooled down that the official Twitter and Instagram handles of BJP Chhattisgarh, made this post in bad taste.
A Ghibili style image with the caption, "They asked for the religion not the caste," "We'll remember. " India Today's journalist Preeti Choudhary's satiricial take on this is that it is never too soon to use a tragedy for one's benefit. This post shows two things clearly.
First, they do not plan to find solutions to caste-based discrimination. Because to find a solution, one has to acknowledge the problem. Ask them how many Brahmin and other upper caste Hindu grooms have been stopped from riding horses for the wedding procession.
Why is it that only the Dalits are the ones to get beaten up? You will find so many news articles about this. They are beaten up because of their caste, right?
The second thing that this post tells you is that BJP will continue to spread religious hatred in the country. The agenda of the terrorists is to break apart our country. To make Hindus fight with Muslims, to take the country towards a civil war.
BJP follows the same agenda. You will see their posts all around on social media. They have only one focus.
Hindus versus Muslims. They want to create fear in all Hindus. Not about terrorists, but about the Muslims of their own country; their neighbours, and their friends.
They want to create fear among all Muslims, not about terrorists, but the Hindus of their country; their neighbours and their friends. "They will collect the resources and hand it over to whom? " "Those who have more kids (Muslims).
" All this so that you vote for them out of fear. Friends, this is why since 2014 Hindus have been in "perpetual danger. " From all directions, year after year, month after month, you are told about this narrative that Hindus are in danger.
"Be ready to be shocked, as per this report," "the Muslim population has gone up by more than 43%. " "the Hindu population has gone down in an equal period by 7. 82%.
" "Think about this; it's crazy! " "This is a conspiracy" "of turning Bharat into Gazwa-e-Hind. " "They want to turn it into an Islamic state.
" Whereas before 2014, you didn't hear anything remotely related to it. In their greed for power, they sow discord between the Hindus and Muslims, aimed at breaking apart our country. Muslims also have similar fanatical and hateful elements like the BJP.
You can see such Muslims here. When there's any news of an attack, they react by laughing at the post. Whether these people reflect on their actions or not, you need to understand one thing, you, a common Hindu, a common Muslim, a common Sikh, a Christian, a Buddhist or a Jain, whether you are a Brahmin, a Rajput or a Dalit, whether you are Haryanvi or Marathi, you need to understand one thing carefully, regardless of the basis of violence, whether it's religion, caste, language, or whatever, no matter who is being violent, criticise every violent incident without any hesitation.
Whether it is the Pahalgam terror attack or the genocide in Palestine. Whether the violence is driven by casteism or for not speaking the regional languages like Marathi or Kannada. Every act of violence is like a termite for our country.
Terrorists and hateful people will try to provoke you. Telling you about how 'they' will hurt you. But you shouldn't get provoked.
This us versus them, grouping us and then pitting us against each other, we need to steer clear from this poisonous propaganda. As Indians, we demand that all these criminal elements and terror elements, be jailed and punished. And the rest of the citizens, we need to stay together.
To usher in peace and progress to our country. So, say it loud and clear, Long Live Indian Unity! Against this terrorist ideology, against the people who trying to destroy our country.
Long Live Indian Unity! Jai Hind!
