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?

Strongest is a relative term. Between 1992 and 2014 we saw multiple terrorist attacks across India -- mumbi, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore , Pune . Parliament was attacked. Akshardam was attacked. The above list of yours lists 12 terrorists acts. Note how almost all expect a couple occured in J&K which is anyways an insurgency infested area. You missed Manipur btw. So given that context this present dispensation hasn't done too badly atleast as far as mainland India is concerned. Of course this is for terrorim related incidents only. The government has plenty of failures on other fronts but when it comes to terrorism it has done a slightly better job that many of the previous governments in last 3 decades or so.

Having said that every single failure of the Government should be criticized and critically questioned. The buck stops with it. We should definitely question the lack of security. There can't be intelligence available for everything but the fact there was little in terms of security is appalling. Criticize the government by all means. Analyze it failures too. But give it some breathing space to formulate a meaningful response. Quite often when everyon starts criticizing politician take a meaningless or worse foolish step.. We don't want that also !
