The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, has sparked outrage from an unlikely source – Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistani cricketer. Kaneria has been vocal about his disgust towards the attack and has criticized Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his silence on the matter.
A Call for Condemnation
Kaneria took to Twitter to express his frustration, questioning why Sharif hasn’t condemned the attack if Pakistan is truly not involved. He pointed out that the sudden high alert status of Pakistani forces suggests they know more than they’re letting on. Kaneria accused the Pakistani government of sheltering and nurturing terrorists, a claim that has sparked a heated debate on social media.
- Kaneria’s tweets have been met with a mixed response, with some supporting his stance and others criticizing him for speaking out.
- He also questioned why some Indian Muslims get offended when he tweets about sensitive topics.
- Kaneria highlighted the fact that the terrorists consistently target Hindus, including Kashmiri Pandits and Hindu tourists.
The attack in Pahalgam’s Baseran valley occurred on April 22, 2025, at around 2:45 pm, leaving multiple casualties. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of tourists in the region and the motivations behind such attacks.
A Pattern of Violence
Kaneria’s tweets pointed out that the terrorists’ targets are not random, but rather follow a specific ideology. He emphasized that the world is paying the price for this ideology, which is often masked under various disguises. The attack has sparked a renewed discussion about the root causes of terrorism and the need for a unified response to combat it.
The Pakistani government’s response to the attack has been scrutinized, with many calling for a clearer stance on terrorism. Kaneria’s comments have added fuel to the fire, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in the face of such atrocities.
