Public opinion is largely critical of Suvendu Adhikari's remarks, with widespread anger and fear regarding increasing communal tensions and Islamophobia. Commenters express concerns over political opportunism, discrimination against Muslims, and the potential for violence, reflecting a fractured societal landscape.

I mean I also saw a video of him where he called the victim while she was still in Jammu to ask her of the situation, promised to make provisions for her safe return and to arrange someone to be with her. How many Bengali politicians did that?

Yes, he's doing this for politics just like Mamata does, but factually he isn't wrong. They were literally killed for being hindu. People need to know.

E kon sociopath der pallay porlam 😭😭😭😭

I mean, বর্ডারে গার্ড থাকে ১৫-২০ মিটার অন্তর। তার মধ্যে এই আতঙ্কবাদীরা ঢুকে পড়েছে? এটা অসম্ভব। আর আমি একজন প্রাক্তন বিএসএফের সাথে কথা বলেছিলাম। উনি বলেছিলেন আমায় যে সরকারের কাছে সব খবর থাকে। সব খবর। সরকার প্রতিরক্ষা খাতে এত টাকা খরচ করে, আর RAW আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে সবচেয়ে ভালো ইন্টেলিজেন্ট ইউনিট। The best among all intelligence units all over the world. তাদের কাছে সব খবর থাকে কে কোথা দিয়ে ঢুকছে কি করছে। 

আমি অবাক হয়ে যাই, মোদি সরকার আসার আগে হিন্দু খতরে তে ছিলো না। মোদি সরকার আসার পরে প্রতি বছর শুনি হিন্দু খতরে মে হ্যায়। Literally প্রতিটা ইলেকশনের আগে এই এক ব্যাপারটা শুনি। ভেবেও অবাক লাগে, কি সুন্দর প্রতিটা জিনিস বিজেপির ন্যারেটিভের সাথে মিলে যায়। এখন সবাই বলা শুরু করে দিয়েছে terrorism has a religion, and it is Islam. পাড়ার বল্টু অবধি এতক্ষণের মধ্যে দুবার পাকিস্তানকে ধ্বংস করে দিয়েছে, পাঁচবার মক্কা উড়িয়ে দিয়েছে। আর তখন মোদি সৌদিতে বসে আছে :3

It's all about politics. বিজেপির সিট নড়ে গেছে, আর ভারতীয়দের কাছে ধর্মের নামে শুড়শুড়ি দিলে সবাই মাথা খারাপ করে ফেলে। আর কি, এই ইস্যু নিয়ে পরের ৪ বছর চলবে। ২০২৯ এ আবার মোদি আসবে, তার মধ্যে দুয়েকবার এরকম হিন্দুরা মারা যাবে, এক দুবার সার্জিক্যাল স্ট্রাইক হবে, ব্যাস ২০২৯ এর ভোটে মেজরিটি। আর কি চাই।

While Suvendu is doing something nasty here, no doubt about that, but an important observation crossed my mind. 

"Bolun, kalke raate amay bolechilen, hindu bolei mereche" 

While this woman's husband was killed in front of her and their infant, still she has to hesitate to say out loud what she confessed on a private phone call. Je hindu bolei merech, kalma porte boleche. The tone was like she was really hesitating. The ingrained fear of cancel culture by islamic apologists is so internalised, the peer pressure is so high, Bhul ke bolteo ajkal amader political correctness niye vabte hocche, abar jodi kono woke friend amake chaddi bole deye!

A muslim can be a Muslim. 
A christian can be a christian.
A hindu must be secular. 
 
These people were shot because they were Hindus. As much as the government is responsible for Intel failure, we must understand that this is A TARGETED WAR against Hindus. I might be downvoted but there's a limit to being peaceful.

_RAAG

I don't understand Suvendu said something like this and people are like he shouldn't tell this and that. What Mamata is doing for all the years ?

bignoobop2024

The cameras were already there, every media house has been chasing this story since Tuesday. As for the approach he took, it was disgusting and totally unnecessary. However, this does not for once change the fact that the victims were identified in the most crude way possible and executed for being Hindus. This needs to be ingrained in the mind of every free thinking liberal Hindu for generations to come. We might not have been born during the Kashmiri Pandits’ exodus, but this is unfolding right before our eyes. This and what happened in Murshidabad.

Religion does not matter to you, but it’s the only thing that matters to them. This needs to be taught to every Hindu child so that they can make friends with the friendly neighbourhood Abdul all they want, but not forget that when the time comes, it will be that Abdul who’ll put a bullet in their head, or maybe chop it off.

Lastly, if the PM, HM and NSA resigns in light of the intelligence &amp; security failure taking full responsibility for it, who exactly should replace them? The chunnu munnus from this sub who don’t know shit about how the world works and will be busy sympathising with terrorists?!!

He did the right thing. This incident needs to be highlighted and should be shown to muslims. Islam as a religion needs scrutiny and a detailed study by their own scholars on why it's being weponised.

Alpha_Prime69

Those who are blaming BJP and Centre, are perhaps forgetting that Omar Abdullah runs J&amp;K now due to his party winning the polls. The Police are his, and law and order is a state subject. Centre left administration and Executive to Abdullah. Why did he fail to anticipate this attack? He has no responsibility? When there was heavy Army presence in J&amp;K, so many were screaming that Army is oppressive and needs to be reduced.  Centre did what they asked and pulled back much of their army from Kashmir. How many are asking why those Kashmiri Muslim men, who took out a candle march, were caught laughing and smiling on video, as if what happened was a happy incident? Majority of Muslim locals in Kashmir don't want to integrate with India. They have separatist mindsets. This is a historical fact. Such a deadly terror attack is not possible without tacit support of locals.

Personally, this is one of the few times I don't have much against him.

I opposed when people were forced to chant Jai Shree Ram for charity food. I also condemn this heinous crime of attacking someone because of not being able to recite Quran verses, this crime being much worse imo.

Why bothered from camera ?

Camera showed reality by The Kashmir Files . You want to blame camera and not the terrorists?

FrostyDiscipline4758

Still better than victim blaming, which this person is doing shamelessly on social media and the most pathetic part of this is thousands of his social media followers are supporting his statement.

This is not new information that a Pak funded terrorist organization whose aim is to change dempgraphic of J&amp;K will target a Hindu first. You need common sense, history and awareness to realize that..and its not even new. 

This in no way means "Hindu Khatre mein hai" on their own country. Mr Suvendu, the Opportunist is trying to extract as much as he can from the terrorist attack to fuel his party's success for the upcoming election, "Red Herring" fallacy for the uninitiated.

The real issue being how come none of our internal securities had any clue about this is going to happen when afghani youtubers were warning us a day before about large scale protests about Kashmir...just on 21st April. Just because he stated a fact...an obvious one, doesnt justify his actions or intentions or the motives behind it.

He's really desperate now. He knows this is his best chance to show love towards the people and religion. I believe everything he’s doing is just for the sake of becoming the next CM. He’s trying to win people’s hearts with fake sympathy—this is the same person who supported Muslims when he was in TMC.

Missionaries also viewed it as a “pagan threat” to their religious superiority.
