Mysuru Man Survives Pahalgam Attack by Hiding

A software engineer from Karnataka, Prasanna Kumar Bhat, recounted a harrowing experience of survival during a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives on April 22. Sharing his story on social media, Bhat described how he, his family, and around 40 others narrowly escaped the attack, thanks in part to his brother, a senior Indian Army officer, who guided them to safety. The family had arrived at the picturesque Baisaran valley, only to be confronted by gunfire shortly after 2:25 PM. As chaos erupted, Bhat and others fled in the opposite direction of the attackers, finding refuge in a narrow pit under trees. After enduring the terror for nearly an hour, security forces arrived to secure the area. Bhat expressed gratitude for his brother's quick thinking and the army's assistance, reflecting on the lasting impact of the traumatic event as he and his family returned safely to Mysuru. sources

25-Year-Old Doctor Dies After Suffering Burns in Haryana

Bhawana Yadav, a 25-year-old medical graduate from Rajasthan, tragically died from severe burn injuries after being admitted to a hospital in Jaipur following an incident in Hisar. Her mother, Gayatri Yadav, reported that Bhawana had been attending online classes and commuting to Delhi for exams.

Upon reaching Hisar, the family found the hospital could not clarify the circumstances of her condition. After being transferred to SMS Hospital in Jaipur, Bhawana succumbed to her injuries. Gayatri has filed a zero FIR alleging that her daughter had sharp weapon injuries on her abdomen, suggesting foul play, and noted that Bhawana's valuables were missing, raising suspicions of murder.

Aiyar Connects Pahalgam to Partition; BJP Reacts

The BJP has criticized Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar for linking the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, to "unresolved questions of the Partition," deeming his remarks insensitive. BJP leaders, including Nalin Kohli and Tarun Chugh, condemned Aiyar's statements as a form of appeasement towards Pakistan, arguing that such comments exacerbate the pain of the victims' families. Aiyar, speaking at a book launch, questioned whether Muslims in India feel accepted today and highlighted the enduring consequences of Partition. In response, BJP officials asserted that the Congress party bears responsibility for the tragedy of Partition and accused Aiyar of failing to hold Pakistan accountable for its role in terrorism. The BJP has since taken measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and halting trade, as part of a broader strategy to respond to the attack. sources

Opinion: India's Choices After Pahalgam

A recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists, has reignited national anger and highlighted a persistent pattern of violence linked to Pakistan-based Islamist groups, notably Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). This incident, reminiscent of numerous previous attacks over the past three decades, has prompted calls for a robust response from India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to pursue and punish those responsible, indicating that military action may be on the table. However, India's strategy is expected to encompass a mix of military, diplomatic, and internal security measures, reflecting lessons learned from past conflicts. The ongoing deterioration of India-Pakistan relations complicates the situation, with both nations mirroring each other's diplomatic actions. Ultimately, India faces the dual challenge of addressing immediate security threats while fostering long-term stability in Kashmir and maintaining international support against terrorism. sources

Shashi Tharoor Responds to Bilawal Bhutto's "Blood Will Flow" Comment

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor emphasized the need for a visible military response, citing a longstanding pattern of Pakistan denying responsibility for cross-border terrorism despite evidence of its involvement. He recalled India's retaliatory actions following previous attacks, suggesting that this time, the response could be even more severe. Tharoor criticized inflammatory remarks from Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari regarding the Indus Water Treaty, asserting that Pakistan cannot act with impunity. The attack, linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, marks a significant escalation since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019. Relations have further deteriorated, with both nations taking retaliatory measures, including the suspension of bilateral agreements and increased military tensions along the Line of Control. sources
