Even after this, it is not possible to believe that all that has happened is true. It seems that some bad scenes from a movie are passing before the eyes. The mind is bad, the environment is polluted, even the pen is not able to record the details of the incident, because the way the scene captured in the media reports and cameras, known and unknown, has come to light, it cannot be imagined in a good society. It was around 2 pm on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Tourists who had come to visit the Besran Valley of Pahalgam were enjoying horse riding and the pleasant weather. At that moment, some masked terrorists in army uniforms arrive there, they ask the tourists their names, see their identity cards, ask them to recite the Kalma and then after confirming their identity, they shoot them with a lot of bullets and roast them.
This is not an ordinary incident of terrorism, it smacks of a very deep conspiracy. This is not just a barbaric act of terrorists, but an attempt to create hatred between Hindus and Muslims under a well-thought-out conspiracy. The way innocent tourists have been selectively shot, after asking about their religion and faith, there is a message hidden in it that is much more heinous than their murder, the same message that just a week ago, Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir had shamelessly given to an entire nation on the pretext of expatriate Pakistanis. While addressing the Overseas Pakistani Convention held in Islamabad from April 13 to 16, 2025, General Munir had said, ‘Hindus and Muslims can never be one, we have always been not one but two nations. Our religion, our customs, our tradition, our thinking are all different from the Hindus and Kashmir is our heartland, which no one can ever separate from us.’
The Pakistani army general did not stop there, but through the Pakistani diaspora participating in the convention, he requested the Muslims to repeatedly tell and explain to their generations that Hindus and Muslims can never be one. The Pakistani general, without any shame or hesitation, openly asked the people to instill hatred towards Hindus in their children. After the heinous terrorist incident of Pahalgam, the way the address of Pakistani General Munir is being repeated not only in India, but also in Pakistan and other places of the world, it is clear that this painful incident of Pahalgam also has a connection with this heinous speech. The heinous incident of terrorism that has taken place in Pahalgam is not just an attempt to create fear, but an attempt to create a deep chasm between the Hindus and Muslims of India forever.
The way in which tourists have been selectively killed, the way in which they have been treated heinously, is an attempt to go far beyond fear and erect a wall of hatred between the two nations forever. Not only this, the way in which this terrorist incident was ignored by some people to be shot, the same purpose was hidden behind it that as soon as this video footage comes on social media, the whole of India will catch fire, but the countrymen are immersed in grief with this incident but they have shown full responsibility. Not only outside Kashmir, but also inside Kashmir, responsibility and wisdom have been demonstrated. This is the first such occasion that not only was the bandh completely supported by every section of the society in Kashmir against this heinous incident, but what is even bigger is that this is perhaps the first such occasion in the history of terrorism in Kashmir, when this heinous terrorist incident was condemned by making announcements through loudspeakers from mosques and it was described as against Islam. The haste in which a candlelight march was taken out in Kashmir after this incident, thousands of Kashmiris joined it without being invited, raised slogans against terrorism and called innocent tourists their bread, sustenance and God, along with expressing love for India, this is also not only a stern lesson to the terrorists, but also a slap in the face to Pakistan. For the past several years, Pakistan has been facing humiliation all over the world due to its poor economic situation and after that, Pakistan’s civil society was putting pressure on a large scale to start economic relations with India, the Pakistani military establishment wanted to divert the attention of its people from all this, which is why it has carried out this major attack.
In Balochistan, local separatists have rendered the Pakistani army and government helpless, and Pakistan is now facing the anger and resentment of the Taliban for pushing millions of Afghans out of its borders through Peshawar. Pakistan wanted to draw the world’s attention to Kashmir to divert the attention of its people from that. This is proof that Pakistan was not able to register its presence on earth as a country, let alone a sensitive neighbor, in any situation. The way the timing of this terrible incident has been chosen also demands thought and exposes Pakistan’s inhuman thinking.
Prime Minister Modi is on a two-day visit to Saudi Arabia and the US Vice President is on an official visit to India. Both these events are not only a threat to Pakistan but also to another of our neighbours. Just as in the last fortnight, Saudi Arabia has flown 4700 Pakistanis from its country to Pakistan because these Pakistanis were begging in Saudi Arabia and tarnishing the image of Saudi Arabia.
