Public sentiment is predominantly negative, characterized by frustration, outrage, and distrust towards Pakistan following its admission of past support for terrorism. Many express disbelief at the defense minister's admission and anger at Pakistan's historical actions, prompting calls for India to take stronger action rather than negotiate. There is also skepticism about diplomatic resolutions and a desire for international accountability. However, some skepticism exists about India's motives, with discussions around nationalism and geopolitical tensions further shaping the discourse.

It’s pretty well known that the resistance groups in Kashmir are funded by and act on behalf of Pakistan.

GrandFrogPrince

The terrorists are from there and funded by them

rootshirt

They don’t like them and regularly fund their terrorist groups. Then again what neighboring country truly likes the other?

ty-idkwhy

The Resistance Front is basically Lashkar-e-Taiba and they claimed responsibility. The man who helped carry out the Mumbai attacks in 2008 made a revelation that the ISI (Pakistan’s intelligence agency) gives LeT moral and financial support.

Pixi_Dust_408

Probably, since the Terrorists were Muslim and Pakistan is the Muslim country claiming ownership of Kashmir, there's a very good chance of a connection.

IT_ServiceDesk

Is there a chance that China orchestrated it to discourage companies from relocating factories to India? This coincidentally happened while the US VP was touring India too! Might have caught some media attention

inspiringfisherman

Why did the US bomb Saudi Arabia after 911? Oh that’s right, they decided to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan, even though most of the 911 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia.

Fishtoart

I feel bad for the people on the ground getting killed and living in squalor. But bro, Pakistan sided with Islamists and is now finding out what Islamists are all about. 

Can't help but feel like nobody owes them any support.

LittleLoyal16

They gave them a safe heaven.  Now they are doing the usual thing. Who would think that this was going to happen?

-Lavawolf-

As a tropical bird once said "Terrorism is a stupid game where you win stupid prizes, and nobody plays that stupid game as much as pakistan". The Pakistani ISI is almost peerless in its support and sponsoring of terrorist groups, only the IRGC comes close. 

But not even the IRGC would be stupid enough to house those terror groups inside their own country, most of the iranian backed groups are abroad. Pakistan on the other hand is, allegedly, a safe haven for almost a dozen different groups who operate camps, training bases, supply depots, from within pakistan itself.

ANeedle_SixGreenSuns

Didn’t we have to dig Bin Laden out of there?  And weren’t they pissed as hell when we did?  Maybe don’t give our enemies comfort?

KP_Wrath

Is it sad that the line “[The terrorists] strategically avoid targeting US interests” is arguably the biggest win in our entire 20 year long Afghanistan fuckup? 

It took two decades, trillions of dollars, thousands of lives lost, and an entire generation traumatized on both sides, but finally, *finally*, we achieved the thing we really desired…

…which is making sure that every single idiot religious fundamentalist militia leader in the country has learned to leave the U.S. the FUCK out of this bullshit. 

As for the Pakistani government, congratulations. Not only have you convinced the U.S. to stop giving a shit about Afghanistan, you have also successfully convinced us to stop giving a shit about *you.* 

May you reap what you have sown.

Hey Pakistan, 

On a scale of 1: Fucking around

to 10: Finding Out

where would you rate your current experience?

Because you spent 2 whole ass decades supplying, training, helping, aiding and abetting, and letting moles inside your government feed the Insurgents intel when we were doing raids and taking out all sorts of regional threats…did you ever think about the consequences if America decided you’re not to be trusted and not to be given two fucks about? 

Because guess what mother fuckers!

I don’t understand why we keep calling Pakistan a country.

SiteLineShowsYYC

I was at FOB Shank as late as 2018, guarding the so-called "silk road" where weapons would flood into Afghanistan from Pakistan. If any of our politicians lift so much as a finger to aid Pakistan now after the YEARS we spent being subverted by them I will dedicate my vote to their opposition at every opportunity, regardless of policy. That entire country should be ostracized and ignored.

Dear villagers, remember the band of arsonists that I've been hiding in my house after they burned your village? They're setting my house on fire so if you'd help me with that, that'd be great. What do you mean by "Burn, motherfucker, burn"?

Aren’t they friends with winnie the pooh? Why not ask them for hel- oh wait…

What’s next, Biden flies to Pakistan and gets assassinated, leading to the restarting of the war economy and the rise of PMCs?

If taliban takes over Pakistan, it would be a good opportunity for India to annex it back.

I’ve heard rumors of a US/Chinese plan to secure Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal should it fall into the wrong hands. Is there any truth to that or is that a load of shit?

Even pakistani side of jammu and kashmir along with gilgit baltistan is disputed, how about india starting an insurgency there with such an absurd excuse? And what about supporting khalistan separatism in indian east punjab which is not any disputed territory. More like pakistan is paying for it's sins committed with overconfidence.

Hostile_Insurgent_47

So by that logic, is it okay for someone to compare Indian support of BLA to Pakistan support of khalistani movement in the early 80s? Since Indian Punjab was not disputed territory as well

Just-Golf-5059

The mental gymnastics to justify terrorism by BLA and TTP are remarkable. Hope everyone justifying them meets a similar end as commanders killed by Pak army

Sir we sent armed men and killed 200 of their citizens in 2008 in Mumbai. Attached their parliament around the same time (2001?) I think. It's an eye for an eye on both sides.

Army has messed up the country so badly, that when they do something correct for once, they are still condemned. A wise person told me this 20 years ago.

blingmaster009

This ‘ Dirty Work ‘ which is being talked about  has given rise to the filthiest of creations to ever walk on the face of the earth …

Aware_Size_8815

Okay, so funding in Pakistan for terrorists began to train the taliban to fight against Russian occupation of Afghanistan. America and Britain supported them in that. This is a well known fact that is not a secret in anyway.  But pakistan continued to fund terrorists even after withdrawal of western support. Because they wanted to keep Afghanistan destabilised and create trouble in India. This is more of an open secret. The first part is the thing he admitted to. While the second part he didn't.

ExtraPreference6049

LOL so now Indians are blaming the US and Britain? As if the Trump admin ordered a terror attack in Kashmir. This website is so deranged at times.

Solomon_Kane_1928

We are supporting the cause of Kashmiris, who are trying to get out of Indian military occupation and what he is talking about is PAKISTAN training Talibans and mujahideens for war against russia. He is not talking about terrorism in India.

How shameless of country you have to be to this kind of work and admit it. They call themselves leaders of Islamic world and some people in India support them. This shows how weak is Islam and it's fundamentals.

shubhk2k6

The timing of the attack - coinciding with that of the VP’s visit is very telling in that they wanted international attention. This was a dastardly and cowardly attack. To attack innocent tourists after asking their religion and specifically targeting only hindus shows loud and clear that this was a premeditated hate crime. 

RIP to the dead and may their kin find strength. The Indian government’s response will be watched by millions. 

No_Mix_6835

Pakistan will pay for this with more international isolation, a broken economy. 

Their general Asim Munir said as much a few days ago that Pakistan was created for one reason and one reason only that Muslims and Hindus cannot live together. Their army has been completely Islamized. 

India should cut all diplomatic relations with Pakistan including all sports relations.

SS: Here’s a concise summary of the article:

**Terrorist Attack in Pahalgam, J&amp;K (April 22, 2025):**

- A **terrorist attack in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam** (Anantnag district, J&amp;K) left **over 20 tourists dead** and **at least 24 injured**.
- The **attack site is remote**, accessible only by foot or horseback, making evacuation difficult. Locals used ponies; helicopters were deployed.
- **12 injured tourists** were admitted to Pahalgam hospital; all are reportedly stable.
- **PM Modi**, on a visit to Saudi Arabia, **condemned the attack**, directed swift action, and asked **Home Minister Amit Shah** to visit the site.
- Leaders across the political spectrum, including **President Murmu, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi**, condemned the attack.
- **Security operations** were launched by the Army and J&amp;K Police. BJP leader Ravinder Raina blamed **Pakistani terrorists**.

Pakistani bots are hard at work trying to divert attention.

highfivemelee

It is going to get spicy in a few days time.... expect another airstrike across the border and another stand off. This time, IAF will have the Rafales armed with Meteor and Stormshadows which they didn't have back in 2019.

There is a limited timeframe for IAF to act because PAF has not yet acquired the J-35 and KAAN they are rumoured to be in process of acquiring. IAF will not get another opportunity like this until India gets its own 5th Gen fighter.

Sumeru88


To everyone calling for India to take some big action — that’s exactly what Pakistan’s Army Chief, Asim Munir, is hoping for. This isn’t new. Every time a Pakistani military leader starts losing popularity at home, they stir up tensions with India to shift the spotlight and rally support. And unfortunately, it usually works.

India needs to be smarter this time. Instead of the usual “you hit me, I hit back” response, we should be thinking a few moves ahead — not just in straight lines, but in layers, like a chess game in 3D.

Don’t let Munir turn this into a moment that saves his image. Most Pakistanis don’t want him — they want real democracy and an end to military control. India should be backing that sentiment, not helping him play the hero again.

And for once, even the U.S. and Saudis might be willing to support a reset in Pakistan, if only because it’s in their own interest. A stable, democratic Pakistan helps everyone. China can be forced to be nuetral if not helping in this cause as it's for Pakistan's benefit (which they claim they support).


Let’s not play into the same old script.

Pahalgam lies deep in Jammu Kashmir and is far away from Azad Kashmir border. Seems to be a long trek for the intruders if they did manage to get inside from Azad Kashmir side.
