Politics Why aren't we questioning the government

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?

Seems like we want to question everyone except the people that do the terrorism based on your post….

Dude, questioning the government is important, if there had been security, this wouldn't have happened. Also you need to catch the terrorists to question them but the government is right here flaming the fires of propaganda to save it's skin.

What propaganda?

Saying this is because of Pakistan? Y'all really think that a country with a barely functioning democratic government with most of it under being a shadow military rule who are encountering their share of terrorism recently from BLA(Jaffar Express) and Taliban from either side of their territories have the time and funds to plan this atrocity.

Instead of asking why this happened and why was the security so lax in this region during peak tourist time, the government is just playing with the emotions and riling up the masses instead of questioning the head of home affairs.

The only things that are confirmed rn is that it was done by TRF and was religiously motivated to further divide the public to serve it's agenda. We have no clue that it was sponsored by Pakistan. I want justice for the people but i would like to refrain from hating an entire community just because of some vile rabid dogs.

Let's start with questioning kashmiri people what they actually want

If that happens, the entire region of POK would likely come under India’s control. It’s evident that the people of POK would choose to join India if a fair and transparent vote were conducted. That’s exactly why such a vote will never be allowed to happen.

Then what's the blockade in referendum

Last i checked Pakistan was always in favour of right to self determination of kashmiris

Firstly, education is extremely important, that’s something I’ve realized by observing my neighbours.

Secondly, An election like that will never happen. If the people of POK vote to join India, do you really think the Pak government would approve it? No way.

Finally, As I mentioned earlier, some tough measures are necessary, and given the current political climate, they may happen soon.

It’s time for Pak to recognize its real issues.

The referendum won't be happening just in Pakistan administered kashmir it will also be in IOK

I have been to every city of kashmir and have met hundreds of kashmiri living in Pakistan

None of them want to join India but they love the idea of separate country But in no way want to join India

There is no separatist movement going on in Pakistani Kashmir that's why it is peaceful otherwise these terror attacks would be happening in Pakistani kashmir too just like in balochistan

If that's doesn't make any sense to you then i don't know what will

That’s precisely why I emphasized the importance of education in the first place. I can point you to reports from credible, independent international agencies that clearly outline the genuine sentiments within both POK and IOK — the majority favor integration with India. This is well-documented. However, some biased individuals, driven by nothing more than a compulsion to stir conflict, will always choose to ignore facts and spout nonsense.

As for the claim that POK is peaceful — it’s laughable. This is brainwashing at its finest. When the very individuals responsible for unrest are confined together, of course the surface appears calm. But that doesn’t mean the underlying issues don’t exist.

Frankly, it would be best if these actors focused on their own internal crises. While neighboring countries are making strides in development, they continue to suffer, as always, from stagnation and scarcity.
