Hindus were hunted, children were shot, and a widow was spared ‘to send a message to Modi’—as Pakistan-fuelled jihadists unleash horror in India’s Mini-Switzerland
15th April 2025, Islamabad, Pakistan.
In an inauguration of the Overseas Pakistanis Convention, the Pak Army Chief General Asim Munir, addresses a speech in an auditorium referring the officials and investors of Pakistan, about how their state is on a mission of becoming a rising power, and it must continue to prosper based on the sacrifice without forgetting the perception of what their forefathers had while making the Islamic state of Pakistan.
Shortly after a while, his speech took a direction of hate, disgust and a significant threat where he spoke about the: “Two-Nation Theory”, ideological, cultural, and civilizational war with the Hindu community, and stated that Kashmir will be liberated from the restraints of India. Appreciation & applause continued and a clear message was presented.
22nd April, 2025, Baisaran Valley, near Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir
With utmost precision and prior planning, some individuals in military attire emerged from the dense shadows of Baisaran Valley. All were armed with automatic weapons bearing the appearance of regular Indian Army personnel, they silently positioned themselves within a radius that brought them very close to civilians who were enjoying themselves as tourists.
At around 2:30 pm, a series of automated gunshots were heard all over the place of what is termed as the Mini-Switzerland of India. A place which is a hubspot of tourist attraction surrounded by greenery and mountains, was stained by the blood of unarmed civilians [Hindus], by confirming their identity, who just visited the place within their own country without any fear to spend some quality time.
Civilians: “Please..please spare our lives, we are begging you sir..”
Islamic Jihadist’s: “What is your religion, you don't seem to be a Muslim! Lower..lower down your trouser, let me see your real identity”
[Multiple rounds of gunshots..]
Situation got more gruesome and chaotic when the tourists ran for their lives towards the exit gateway of the openfield, which nearly escalated to a situation of stampede, and the civilians got shot from behind by the attackers.
A woman who sat pale beside the corpse of her dead husband asked the Jihadist’s,
“What's the point of sparing my life now, you’ve killed my husband. What favor are you doing to me by sparing me?”
Islamic Jihadist’s: “We are sparing you so that our message reaches Modi (P.M. of India).”
Some accounts suggest that the Jihadi’s singled out non-Muslims, asking victims to recite the kalma from the Quran where none of the Innocent children, adults and even people beyond the age of 50 were spared before the muzzle of the Kalashnikov.
Reportedly 5 to 6 Jihadi’s posed themselves as military men and executed this mass killing. The attack claimed the lives of 28 individuals, including 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen. Among which some were newlyweds and families on vacation.
Up until now on 23rd April 2025, as a retaliation from the Indian Army’s Rashtriya Rifle regiment Operation Tikka has been launched, where it is verified from official sources that two among six of the Jihadist’s have been neutralized, and it is confirmed that The Resistance Front- "Kashmir Resistance" is behind this barbaric event which was fueled by the state of Pakistan.
At last there is a question or rather a concern that arises: If HUMANITY wants Peace, is it achievable with diplomatic approvals and disapproval written with ink and pen even if civilians have to lose their lives? Or is it the time, that is asking the civilians to become militant and avenge the wrong with marshall spirit to earn Peace through Violence!
Let there be no illusion—India will respond, and this time, with clarity, resolve, and zero tolerance. The massacre at Pahalgam was not just an act of terrorism—it was a deliberate attack on innocent civilians within our own borders. Disguising yourselves in Indian uniforms only underscores your desperation and cowardice. Sparing a widow to “send a message” does not intimidate us—it exposes your moral and strategic bankruptcy. Your past attempts to disrupt peace in Kashmir have failed repeatedly, and this one will be no different.
India’s response will be measured, precise, and decisive.
