The gruesome killing of tourists in Pahalgam (J&K) by Islamic terrorists on the 22nd of April 2025 have shaken the nation. Twenty-five the victims were killed for being non-Muslim (24 were Hindu and one Christian). The incident is a reminder of the horrific genocide of Hindus in the valley back in 1989-90s.
In this article we shall be sharing highlights from various interviews and commentaries of Jagadguru Puri Shankaracharyaji on Pahalgam terror attack and related matters.
Jagadguru Puri Shankaracharyaji condemned the terrorist attack in strong words. He said that this heinous crime is unpardonable.
The act of asking people their religion and then killing them is an attempt to create the environment of civil war in Bharat. This incident reveals that Musalmans alone have immense hatred towards Hindus. They shall face huge loss due to this.
Jagadguru Puri Shankaracharyaji said that the security of the tourists/pilgrims should have been ensured by the government and such an incident should have been prevented in the first place. Now that this has already happened and Pakistan has taken responsibility action must be taken accordingly.
The PM shall take appropriate steps considering that the measures must not lead to civil war or world war in the future. It is expected that diplomatic moves shall be made.
One strategy is to attack Pakistan when the latter starts mistaking India’s placid nature as weakness. That is how revenge can be taken.
The PM is a rashtra bhakt, he is not weak. He had got terrorists killed in their own abode in Pakistan, in the past. Bharat will give a strong response to this.
On being asked to comment on the impact of this terror attack on the Amarnath yatra Gurudev said that Bharat is a land of rishis and people have strong faith. Such occurrences do not deter them from having darshan. Macaulay wished to misdirect Hindus but our rishi parampara is so strong that he has not been successful in his mission. In the same way, the Amarnath yatra shall not be effected.
On the subject of the Waqf Board Ammendment Bill, Gurudev said that a conducive environment should have been created in the country, then this kind of uproar would not have happened.
The cause of violence against and exodus of Hindus from Murshirabad is a result of the direcionlessness of the Government and the appeasement policy for Musalmans.
Message for Hindus:
If Hindus remain limited to filling their stomachs and family, then they will have to keep running away like this from everywhere.
Message for Musalmans:
If Musalmans follow the path given by Rahum, Raskhan and Kalaam, it shall be of benefit for them and the country.
It is high time we Hindus become part of a healthy revolution for creating a Hindu Rashtra.
Jai Jagannath!
