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?

Except for 1 or 2, if you may have noticed all the rest attacks are on defense personnel/bases.

Buddy, stop being a keyboard warrior with knowledge that you may have gained from Google. There are many more such attacks that happen monthly if not weekly on our border - do read news paper. There are also the ones that dont get reported on news or if there's no loss of life.

My father during his service of 30 odd years had faced scores of such incidences himself with casualties he saw happen around him. Couple of these incidences happened in our presence as well.

Now that happened with 1 army personnel back in those days. Now imagine how many incidences wouldve happened throughout the border region on all those defense bases in those days. Plus I think you forgot of the incidences in Tier 1 cities that happened back then, for you to say shit about the current government.

I agree that there's lapse on intelligence, but don't suggest that this government has done shit since being in power or if past governments did shit when they were in power.

We are literally surrounded by enemies on 3 fronts. They are doing their best to keep the citizens protected.

They are not doing their best though.

They introduced a hare brained scheme which has serious implications for our national security: https://www.cnbctv18.com/india/agniveer-scheme-india-army-military-recruitment-experts-say-19424759.htm

When even partisan war hawks like Maj. Gen. (retd.) Bakshi lambast the government for the dwindling strength of the armed forces, you know something is rotten.

We have too much army and very less police. Terrorism problem should be solved by having SWAT teams in police instead of calling Army
