The shocking news came from Kashmir. The terrorists brutally killed 28 of them while firing bullets at unarmed, innocent tourists. Among those who died, there are two foreign nationals of Indian origin. There were also citizens of Nepal and the United Arab Emirates. But these two tourists were also Hindus. Terrorists shot the tourists eating Bhelpuri in Pahalgam, knowing their religion, selectively. Asked the husband’s name in front of the wives and shot without saying anything. The Army, CRPF and Kashmir Police are currently running a search operation to catch these killers in the forests of Pahalgam. Home Minister Amit Shah laid flowers on the coffins of the slain tourists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi left his Saudi Arabia and returned to Delhi. The terrorists also conducted video recording with the camera on their helmets at the time of the attack. It is clear that the killers had already come up with complete preparations.
All the big leaders of the world, including US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, condemned the terrorist attack. There is no doubt that in Pahalgam, there are cowardice, innocent, helpless, unarmed people, devils, enemies of humanity and Kashmiriyat. The biggest identity of Kashmiriyat is, hospitality and these terrorists shed the blood of guests in Kashmir. These terrorists should not be left at any cost. The purpose of these people is clear. Scare tourists visiting Kashmir. Those who earn livelihood from tourism, take away their employment. To understand this, it is necessary to know that after the end of Article 370, the number of tourists going to Kashmir in the last five years increased by about eight crore thirty -two million. This has provided employment to Kashmiri people, their income has increased, Kashmir has come up with prosperity. This prosperity of the people of Kashmir, this happiness was not being tolerated by the ISI and the army of Pakistan.
The second thing is the timing of this attack. When the US Vice President JD Vans is in India and Prime Minister Modi in Saudi Arabia. Pakistan also does not tolerate India’s friendship with these two countries. Both these countries were once considered the mother-father of Pakistan. Now the time has changed. India has made Pakistan realize this changed time many times. It has shown that now India responds to Pakistan in his language, kills and kills the house but Pakistan does not desist from its antics. I am confident that our brave army will take those who carried out the cowardly attacks in Pahalgam and our government will also teach a lesson to those who send these terrorists. (Rajat Sharma)
