Once again the Sufi land has been soaked by the innocent human blood and much blood has been spilled and there is need that spilling of innocent human blood should stop. The savage and inhuman terrorists have enacted Nadimarg and 2000 Pahalgam like carnage on Indian tourists at Baisaran valley in Pahalgam which is six /seven Kms away from the world famous tourist resort and the exact place is called mini-Switzerland. It is the biggest terrorist attack after the Pulwama attack of 2019. It is also the first such attack on tourists. In past there were very scant attacks on tourists in which only one or two tourists lost their lives. The massacre at Pahalgam has shook not only J&K, but whole India. There is a pall of gloom and grief in Jammu and Kashmir. The Pak sponsored marauders have stooped too low and this time targeted our tourist guests in most savage way which has very few parallels in the history of the terrorism in J&K. This time the terrorists have attacked tourists in the groups and the savages have swooped tourists in their groups and had formed the pair of two, three terrorists and killed tourists. The savage attack on innocent tourists has taken time before the Amar Nath Ji Yatra as it will commence in July 2025 and this terrorist attack will have adverse ramifications on Amar Nath Yatra. This act of terrorists is abominable and most despicable and such terrorist designs should be curbed with iron fist. The terrorist act at Pahalgam is violence against peaceful and innocent tourists who are our esteemed guests. The terrorists have killed tourists and injured at least 10 tourists after first identifying their victims and the attack has horrified ,terrified ,and it was a grisly attack. It was a dreadful attack and a most coward attack. The terrorists have chosen Baisaran valley near Pahalgam to target the tourists and gave a message that terrorism is alive and kicking and not on the death bead as claimed by the NDA government. The gruesome and barbaric as well as dastardly attack on tourists who were enjoying horse ride is most despicable. The spine chilling massacre has resulted in killing of 28 tourists and injures to many others .The terrorists of TRF which is affiliated to Lashkar-ie-Tioba and Hizbul Mujahe-Din dreaded terrorist organizations and TRF has taken responsibility for the dastardly attack. The attack is hair-raising and spine chilling. The gruesome attack has rightly been condemned by the LG Manoj Sinha,Chief minister Omar Abdullah ,Dr Jitendra Singh MoS PMO, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, all most all political parties, NC president Farooq Abdullah and other leaders. Prime minister who was away in a Saudi Arabia has cut short his visit and returned to New Delhi has condemned this barbaric terrorist act and talked to HM Amit Shah and deputed him to Kashmir. Condemnation of this dastardly attack has been condemned by world leaders. Condemnations, anger and grief over the gruesome attack poured in from all directions and traders, transporters, Bar associations of both Jammu as well as Kashmir had called for a day’s strike on Wednesday. A peaceful band was observed in Kashmir and Jammu against the terrorist attack. American president Donald Trump, Russian President Putin and Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia ,European Union, England and other countries of the world have condemned this attack. Whole India is one in condemnation of the terrorist attack .People are demanding that India should attack Pakistan and break the back of terrorist sponsored country. HM Amit Shah has since reached Srinagar and rushed to Raj Bhawan were a high level security meeting was held and strong message and instructions were given to the security forces. HM will visit the site of terrorist attack tomorrow and will take stock of the situation. The terrorists have attacked unarmed civilians who were tourists and the massacre is a blot and stain on so called Kashmiriyet if anything of this syncretism has still remained in Kashmir. This terrorist attack is the attack on the Kashmitiyet and communal harmony. The moot question is where has the so called Kashmiriyet gone or is it disappearing from the soil of Kashmir? The targeted attack on innocent tourists is an attack on the culture of Kashmir. The barbaric attack is anti religious, irreligious act which has rightly been condemned by one and all. It is not only an attack on tourists but also an attack on the economy of Kashmir. The terrorists who are enemies of humanity and the terrorist act is an attack on the livelihood of taxi operators, Pouni Wallas,Horse owners, Hoteliers, Houseboat owners, traders ,businessmen and last but not least on the composite and Sufi culture of Kashmir. This dastardly attack on tourists is the message to tourists not to come to Kashmir. The terrorists have in fact attacked the livelihood of the local traders and all those people who are directly and indirectly connected with tourism. Pakistan and its terrorists are nervous over the greater tourist footfall and peace and tranquility of Kashmir and thus they have raised their ugly and shameful face and shown their presence and perhaps put a full stop on the claims of NDA government that terrorism has drastically come down as there is decline in terrorist attacks across Kashmir valley. The terrorists earlier has surfaced in peaceful Jammu region as they had shifted the focus of their anti human acts to Jammu region. It is learnt that the terrorists who were in police uniform had attacked tourists with sadistic pleasure. Only condemnation is not enough and what is required is that the back of terrorists should be broken and all those who have took part in this massacre and mayhem should be caught and after speedy trail given death sentence. No less than capital punishment should be given to these enemies of humanity so that trust and confidence of the common man is ensured otherwise people have the impression that the government is only names sake in Kashmir. All those injured tourists should be given treatment and those who lost their life should be duly compensated along with the injured ones. It is true that no amount of compensation can fully compensate the dead ones as the lives lost cannot be revived. We have been condemning the terrorist attacks and what is required is to put terrorism under foot and initiate anti terror operations with redoubled spirit so that terrorism is given death kneel. There is need of coordination among the different security agencies including CRPF,BSF, Army, JK Police. The people of Kashmir should also raise against terrorists and give information about the terrorists to the security agencies and then and only then we can say that Kashmiris are against terrorism. Common Kashmiri and political parties and religious organizations should protest on the roads of Kashmir and give impression that Kashmiris are against terrorists. Then and then only it will be construed that Kashmiris have no sympathy with terrorists. This most barbaric attack is a multifarious attack and as such is an attack on Kashmiriyet, image of Kashmir, progress, prosperity, livelihood, economy and what not? Whole Jammu and Kashmir and India should forget differences and rise against terrorism with one voice. The Auqa of terrorism –the master and sponsor of terror to Kashmir that is Pakistan has been exposed and it should be punished for this massacre. A clear and unambiguous message and instruction should go to the security forces to deal with terrorists with iron hand and there should be no lapse in fighting terrorism. At vulnerable tourist spots and scenic places security forces need to be deployed to create a sense of security among the tourists. The high level security meeting has given a strong message to the various security agencies that no security lapse will be tolerated and the perpetrators of this dastardly attack should be sternly punished and justice should be ensured to the victims of this attack. This is only possible when those involved in this attack are identified and caught and given strong punishment so that the tourists and commoners feel secure and safe. Pakistan which is the mother of terrorism should be punished and for this if required the Army should cross the boundaries and inflict punishment on Pakistan and give a befitting reply to the enemy country. Enough is enough, the GOI should show its mettle and enter Pakistan and crack on the hideouts of terrorists in POK. The million dollar question is when will such terrorist attacks cease and everyone is asking only one question and that is, "Aur Kitna Khoon Bahayga’’?
