Terrified by the remarks, she rushed home without completing her appointment.... Later “A* asked , ‘Why did you insult me like this?’ The doctor replied, ‘What I did was right. You people are uneducated murderers.’ She repeated those same hateful words and then cut the call.”

सरकार ने मानी चूक, फिर क्यों खेला गया ख़बर छिपाने का ख़तरनाक खेल https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y2ehdhaOVg Ravish Kumar Official Apr 25, 2025
होटल वालों ने नहीं बताया कि हज़ारों पर्यटक आ गए थे? ये जवाब है या बहाना है कि पुलिस को पता नहीं था। सेना को पता नहीं था। दो हज़ार लोग आ गए, हज़ारों गाड़ियाँ आ गईं और किसी को पता नहीं चला। अगर ये जवाब है तो फिर साफ़ है कि सरकार के पास कोई जवाब नहीं है। इससे भी ख़तरनाक है कि गोदी मीडिया का सरकार के इस जवाब को ख़बरों से ग़ायब कर देना। छोटा कर लगाना और चुप रह जाना। आप इस वीडियो को देखिए पता चलेगा कि आतंकवादी ने 26 लोगों की हत्या कर दी लेकिन उसके बाद अब गोदी मीडिया ख़बरों की हत्या कर रहा है। इस तरह से ख़बरें लिखी जा रही हैं कि जवाबदेही की बात साफ ही न हो। केवल हमला कर देंगे, बदला लेंगे, मिट्टी में मिला देंगे वाली बातों को बड़ी बड़ी हेडलाइन बनाकर छापा जा रहा है। Google Translate The hoteliers did not tell that thousands of tourists had come? Is this an answer or an excuse that the police did not know. The army did not know. Two thousand people came, thousands of vehicles came and no one came to know. If this is the answer then it is clear that the government has no answer. Even more dangerous is the Godi media making this answer of the government disappear from the news. Putting a small point and remaining silent. You watch this video and you will know that the terrorist killed 26 people but after that now the Godi media is killing the news. News is being written in such a way that the matter of accountability is not clear. Only things like we will attack, we will take revenge, we will destroy them are being printed by making big headlines.
Pahalgam was a policy failure, a propaganda failure, and a political failure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fgYBLXMbYs Ajai Sahni Frontline Magazine
In this episode of Latitude, Frontline's weekly show on India's foreign policy and global affairs, senior journalist and host Nirupama Subramanian speaks to the noted counter terrorism specialist Ajai Sahni in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. Sahni, who heads the Institute of Conflict Management that runs the website South Asia Terrorism Portal, talks about why the massacre on April 22 wherein 26 people were killed in Baisaran valley was not an intelligence failure but the fallout of the Narendra Modi-led Central government's political objective to prove "normalcy" in the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.
Context:
The Baisaran valley, located in South Kashmir’s famed tourist resort of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, is a popular tourist spot, its rolling meadows reminiscent of many movie scenes. On April 22, 2025, this ordinary, cheerful place was turned into a slaughterhouse in a trice, turning the lives of several families upside down. Survivors said the firing continued for eight to 10 minutes. More than two dozen persons were killed, including a foreigner and a Kashmiri native, by what appeared to be trained gunmen.
According to defence experts, the militants probably chose the non-motorable and tough terrain in the forested area of Pahalgam since it “provides cover and more opportunities and safety than the hinterland”. As the news of the tragedy filtered down to the other parts of the Valley, the streets and highways slowly emptied of people, who were driven indoors by fear and sorrow, turning all of Kashmir into a ghost town.
