Mumbai: Samajwadi Party Maharashtra President, Abu Asim Azmi, has raised serious doubts over the timing and credibility of the alleged encounter in which three youth were killed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. His remarks come amid the heated debate over “Operation Sindoor” in Indian parliament.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Azmi, in a media interview in Mumbai, questioned how all three alleged militants\u2014accused in the April 22 Pahalgam attack\u2014were \u201cconveniently\u201d neutralised on the very day when Indian Home Minister Amit Shah addressed parliament on the operation. \u201cDid the militants know parliament would be discussing Operation Sindoor and decide to gather on the same day? This raises serious concerns,\u201d Azmi said.<\/p>\n
He further criticised the prolonged silence of authorities since the attack, despite Kashmir being under intense surveillance and military presence. \u201cIt\u2019s shocking how the attackers managed to escape unharmed in such a heavily guarded zone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Azmi raised further concerns: \u201cIf these militants were truly Pakistani nationals, why weren\u2019t they captured alive? That would have provided solid evidence. With all three dead, the government\u2019s version remains unverified.\u201d<\/p>\n
He pointed out contradictions in India\u2019s response: \u201cWhen the attack happened, the public stood behind the government. There was talk of war. Yet, instead of retaliation, a ceasefire was announced. Now, the government is preparing for cricket matches with the same country it accuses of terror?\u201d<\/p>\n
Azmi\u2019s comments come as growing sections of civil society, rights activists, and opposition leaders accuse the Modi-led regime of politicising Indian security. Former Indian Minister P. Chidambaram also expressed scepticism, saying the narrative that the attackers were from Pakistan remained unproven.<\/p>\n
On the international front, Azmi voiced concern over India’s muted response to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. \u201cIf we believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, we must speak up against Israeli aggression. Starving children, bombed civilians \u2013 this is not the time for silence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
