• "Commendable job done by Army, Police & SFs"

SRINAGAR: BJP Jammu and Kashmir spokesman and senior party leader Altaf Thakur on Monday said that the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam has been avenged, with the elimination of the three Pakistani terrorists responsible for the heinous crime. He commended the Indian Army and J&K Police for what he termed a "precise and justice-delivering operation."

“On April 22, Pahalgam turned red with the blood of innocents—victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Today, that blood has not gone in vain. The killers have been brought to justice. The BJP salutes our brave Army, J&K Police, and Special Forces for their commendable and courageous action,” Thakur said in a statement.

He identified the slain terrorists as Suleman Shah, Jibran, and Hibaab Tahir—all Pakistani nationals—who were neutralized in a joint operation code-named Operation Mahadev, carried out by the Rashtriya Rifles and Special Forces of J&K Police.

“This is more than just an encounter—it is a powerful message carved in iron. Anyone who dares to bleed Kashmir will be tracked, cornered, and eliminated. Our forces have shown yet again that there is no safe haven for terrorists on Indian soil,” Thakur added.

The BJP leader came down heavily on Pakistan, accusing it of continuing to export terror into Jammu and Kashmir. “Despite international exposure and diplomatic pressure, Pakistan’s terror factories are still churning out trained killers. But let there be no illusion—India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership will hit back harder each time,” he said.

Thakur also expressed solidarity with the families of the civilians who lost their lives in the April 22 Pahalgam attack. “Their pain is unforgettable, but today’s operation offers a strong sense of closure. The people of Kashmir must know that justice is not delayed, and it will never be denied,” he said.

He concluded with a warning to Pakistan-backed terror groups: “Let this be the final word—Pahalgam will never bow, Kashmir will never bleed silently, and the killers of our people will face the full force of the Indian state.”
