Islamabad:
A senior leader for India’s Congress Party awarded a serious blow to Prime Minister Narendra Modi -Government taling and said there was no evidence that the attackers who performed the Pahagam attack on April 22 had come from Pakistan.
When Indian forces claimed to have killed “three foreign terrorists” linked to Pahagam attacks in the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), former Indian Minister P Chidambaram questioned why the government did not release the investigation report from the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The Indian army claimed in a statement on social media that the three were killed “in an intense firefighter” near the great Hindu shrine of Amarnath in the mountains of Dachigam, about 30 kilometers from Srinagar.
Although the army did not identify the deceased, a police officer AFP told the condition of anonymity that they were all “foreigners”. However, two Indian TV news channels claimed that men were suspected of being behind the Pahaldam attack.
In Pakistan, the state media said, while quoting security sources that India had launched a new hidden military operation, “Operation Mahadev,” for the purpose of staging false meetings to cover the failure of his previous campaign, “Operation Sindoor.”
According to this plan, the Indian army killed, according to a Radio Pakistan report, withheld Pakistani citizens in staged shootouts and branded them as “terrorists” to mislead the international community. It added that Operation Mahadev aimed to suppress the freedom movement in IIOJK.
On April 22, the gunmen shot 26 tourists in Pahagam. With presentation of evidence that India accused Pakistan. Pakistan denied hard the accusation, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered an independent investigation of the incident and offered Pakistan’s full cooperation.
At night between 6-7. However, India fired missiles against Pakistani civilian targets in six cities during its ‘Operation Sindoor’. However, Pakistan gave a strong answer and waived six Indian warplanes, including three Rafale jet aircraft.
Furthermore, Pakistan Operation launched Bunyanum Marsoos on the morning of May 10 and hit 26 Indian military targets and caused the enemy war machines major damage. Hours later, India accepted the ceasefire after the intervention of US President Donald Trump.
During an interview given to the Indian newspaper ‘The Quint’, Chidambaram said the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not yet provided any evidence that those who attacked Pahalam had come from Pakistan.
“The other thing is that the government does not bring out the report from NIA to see what the agency was investigating during this time. Was the agency able to identify the terrorists? And where did they come from? These terrorists can be local. Why do you assume they were coming from Pakistan?”
He said the Indian government hid the losses held during the four-day war. When asked what the Indian government was trying to hide, Chidambaram said the government was trying to hide what the Indian Defense Chief had pointed out that India made strategic mistakes.
The Radio Pakistan report said Operation Mahadev is trying to restore the dwindling political credibility of Modi’s government after embarrassment over Operation Sindoor, which ended in failure after India’s aggressive attitude against Pakistan returned.
According to the report, two innocent Kashmiri citizens, Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Deen, were killed on April 24 by Indian forces after they mistakenly crossed the border.
In addition, in April, the Director-General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) revealed that 723 Pakistanis were illegally detained in Indian prisons, with another 56 by force disappearing by Indian intelligence agencies.
There are growing fears that these prisoners can be used in false meetings during Operation Mahadev, where they could be forced to register anti-Pakistan statements before being killed and labeled as “terrorists.”
The sources show that Indian media is fed false videos, planted weapons and staged images immediately after these meetings to strengthen New Delhi’s false claims. This tactic mirrors by Indian false flag operations where innocent individuals were framed as militants to justify military aggression.
Operation Mahadev would be a serious violation of international law and human rights, the sources say. Pakistan has repeatedly postponed India’s history of false meetings, including Pahagam False Flag operation earlier this year, which India used to justify his military aggression.
Human rights organizations and the United Nations have been invited to investigate India’s alleged atrocities in IIOJK. With tensions still simmering after the conflict in India-Pakistan in May 2025, the international community must prevent further escalation by holding India responsible for its actions.
