Jammu and Kashmir Terror Attack Crackdown
Following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian security forces have intensified their crackdown on terrorism within Jammu and Kashmir, with demolitions and raids.
Why This Matters
Reflects strong anti-terrorism measures impacting national security, law enforcement, and public safety.
Public Sentiment Summary
The public opinion about the crackdown in Jammu and Kashmir following the terrorist attack is predominantly critical, with a mix of frustration towards perceived intelligence and security failures, concern over human rights implications, and skepticism about the government's strategies. Many express dissatisfaction with the delayed response by Indian authorities and distrust towards local populations perceived as complicit with terrorists. There is significant criticism of the media for not strongly condemning the attack and for failing to label it as terrorism outright. Additionally, there is frustration about the practicality of measures like suspending water treaties with Pakistan, viewed as ineffective pressure tactics rather than real solutions. Amidst calls for accountability and comprehensive security strategies, there is a palpable concern about rising communal tensions, governmental handling of internal security, and the attack's potential to further the terrorists’ objectives of creating discord in Indian society.

GOOD NEWS THAT INDIAN GOVERMENT HAS COME ACTIVE FROM HYBERNATION OF TWO YEARS. SALUTE TO STRONG HANDS.
Innocent people are being targeted instead of real people.
Finally yogi model..... which works....
Demolishing home is not written in any law. People living in the same home, in one room may have different viewpoints, lifestyle.
Collective punishment. Justice is a myth.
How the govt left these houses even after knowing terrorists were staying?
The reason for that attack is probably to stop tourism in Kashmir by those terrorists and their masterminds sitting in Pakistan.
Why are some news outlets calling them militants? They are not militants, they are terrorists.
Shame on these media outlets who do not have the guts to call out that this was a terrorist attack plain and simple.
When there’s actual killings of Hindus by Muslim terrorists the liberal world is quiet. Scums of the earth.
This attack is multiple wins for Pakistan. Non-Muslims get killed, Kashmir's tourism economy collapses, Kashmir's youth become more likely to become Jihad junkies.
They singled out Hindus to shoot! Tell us again that terrorism has no religion!
These people need to understand that the terrorists want the worst for our country and these people are literally going at it without realizing they are falling into the trap.
This is snake oil for the average Indian, there is nearly not enough canals and big dams to divert flow or impede it. It will take years before this is useful.
By suspending treaty you can't stop gravity. This is just another Joomlaa by Joomlaa govt.
It's a threat. A pressure tactic. Even if we could magically stop the water, we wouldn't because that would be a gigantic humanitarian disaster. India has always stood firm on the 'no civilians harmed' stance.
The immediate impact would be not of stopping water, but of stopping information sharing, making Pakistan very vulnerable to floods. That is more than enough to damage the agricultural economy.
Suspending treaty != stopping the water flow. These rivers are perennial, with 20-25% of their water sourced from glacier melting and the rest from rainfall catchment.

What the people want
Indian Government: There is an urgent need for transparency and accountability in addressing intelligence lapses and strengthening internal security measures. Public trust can only be regained through comprehensive and effective policies that ensure justice and uphold human rights.
Local Populations in Jammu and Kashmir: There is widespread distrust and a call for separating those innocent from those potentially complicit. Trust and cooperation with security measures are crucial.
Media Outlets: It's critical to consistently and accurately label acts of terrorism to maintain public confidence and prevent media narratives that may inadvertently support or sympathize with terrorist agendas.
Pakistan: There is a strong perception of complicity or support for terrorism, necessitating proactive measures to foster peace and stability in the region.
