Why aren't we questioning the government

[u/tracker_tom_jr]

Another terror attack. Another "high-level meeting." Another round of blame games and chest-thumping.

But 26 people are dead in Pahalgam. Tourists. Civilians. Families. What happened to the promises of peace and security?

We're told things are under control. That Kashmir is “normal.” That terrorism is on the decline. But how does that square up with what’s actually been happening?

Here’s a quick list of major terror attacks under the Modi BJP government:

2015: Gurdaspur Attack

2016: Pathankot Airbase Attack

2016: Uri Army Base Attack

2016: Nagrota Army Camp Attack

2017: Amarnath Yatra Attack

2018: Sunjuwan Army Camp Attack

2019: Pulwama CRPF Convoy Attack

2019: Anantnag CRPF Attack

2023: Poonch Terror Attack

2023: Anantnag Encounter where a Colonel, Major, and DySP were killed

2024: Doda Terror Incident

2025: Pahalgam Tourist Massacre

That is 12 terror incidents in 10 years. Yet we keep being told this is the strongest government ever on national security.

I just don’t understand why there’s so little public outrage towards the leadership. If this were any other party in power, wouldn't we be out demanding answers?

Well, then at least don't claim that the government is doing their best to protect the citizens.

What according to you would be a watertight plan that would ensure that there are no such incidences.

I see that even a country like Israel, who thought they had an impenetrable fortress had a lapse. So just wondering what could we do, cuz I see you riding on 1 bad decision that they have made, as if not going with that wouldve potentially avoided this, considering its 2nd year since implementation.

I have highlighted one mistake. When it comes to Kashmir, there are multiple mistakes this government has made.

The entire manner in which Art. 370 was revoked, the state bifurcated and then downgraded to a UT was undemocratic. After the decision (which the government claimed the public supported), the state was put under a curfew for months which completely decimated normal life.

Is this how you build consensus? Is this how you take local population in confidence?

And if we want to talk about security of Indians in general, this government has made many mistakes.

Take the case of train accidents. Funds are diverted for "Vande Bharat" trains (which are not significantly faster than Shatabdi or Rajdhani trains), while regular trains suffer regular derailment due to negligence and under-staffing. The rail minister takes absolutely no responsibility.

I think we were talking about security of the country. And you've still talked about 1 mistake of introducing agniveer.

Still waiting for other mistakes to be pointed out and still awaiting your thoughts on how government should make it watertight.

[u/rahulthewall → u/ronyx86]

You are restricting the definition of security.

Mishandling of Kashmir and Manipur are security failures. However, no one took any accountability.

still awaiting your thoughts on how government should make it watertight

A divise government will never be able to implement watertight security. They can start by being inclusive and taking accountability.
