The Pahalgam terrorist attack has sent shockwaves across the globe, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation. The attack, which occurred on April 22, claimed the lives of 26 innocent people at Baisaran.
In response to the attack, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, made a contentious statement, referring to the terrorists as “freedom fighters.” Former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria strongly criticized Dar’s comments, calling them “disgraceful” and an “open admission of state-sponsored terrorism.”

He emphasized that the Pakistani people are the primary victims of terrorism and that the country needs a government that prioritizes peace. “I’m not against Pakistan or its people,” Kaneria said. “The people of Pakistan are suffering the most from terrorism. We need a government that works for peace.”
Reactions Pour In
Kaneria’s comments sparked a heated debate on social media, with some users criticizing him for speaking out against Pakistan while living there. However, Kaneria maintained that he is not against the country or its people, but rather against the government’s stance on terrorism.
In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, the Indian government has taken a firm stance against Pakistan, considering drastic measures such as scrapping the Indus Waters Treaty. The international community has also condemned the attack, with many countries expressing solidarity with the victims and their families.
The attack has raised concerns about the ongoing security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the need for a unified response to combat terrorism. As the world watches, it remains to be seen how Pakistan will respond to the international pressure to take concrete actions against terrorism.
