In a chilling revelation, it has emerged that Pakistan had prior knowledge of the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 tourists in Kashmir. The incident, which occurred in the popular hill station of Pahalgam, saw terrorists disguised in Indian Army uniforms open fire on unsuspecting honeymooners and visitors, leading to chaos and bloodshed.

Two weeks before the attack, Chaudhry Anwarul Haq, a prominent Pakistani leader, issued a provocative warning during a press conference. “You celebrate attack on Pakistanis in Balochistan. You will have to pay the price from Delhi to Kashmir,” Haq stated, hinting at impending violence.
The statement, dismissed at the time as political rhetoric, is now under intense scrutiny. Haq had specifically mentioned that Mujahideen groups were preparing for “powerful attacks” within Indian territory, particularly in Kashmir. This raises serious questions about whether adequate attention was paid to the warning and if necessary countermeasures were taken.
The massacre has drawn global condemnation, with renewed focus on Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism. The brutal targeting of civilians, particularly tourists, has sent shockwaves across India and beyond.
As security agencies intensify their probe, demands for accountability are growing. Critics argue that had the warning been treated with the seriousness it deserved, the devastating loss of innocent lives in Pahalgam might have been averted.
