Panun Kashmir condemns Phalgam terror attack
Calls it a continuation of genocide
22/04/2025
Jammu, April 22 (KIP)-Panun Kashmir has issued a scathing condemnation of the barbaric terror attack on Hindu tourists in Pahalgam, calling it an act of genocidal violence rooted in the same Islamist terror doctrine that led to the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990. In a strongly worded statement, Dr. Ajay Chrungoo, Chairman of Panun Kashmir, accused the Jammu and Kashmir administration and the Indian State of criminal negligence and wilful blindness that enabled this massacre to occur.
“This is not an isolated incident. This is not a law and order failure. This is a continuation of a genocidal campaign against Hindus in Kashmir,” Dr. Chrungoo asserted. “We have been warning time and again that terrorism cannot be whitewashed through tourism, nor can normalcy be manufactured through events and optics. But the Indian State, intoxicated by its delusional narratives of ‘normalcy,’ has yet again sacrificed innocent lives at the altar of denial.”
Dr. Chrungoo criticized the recent policy decisions that have further endangered the lives of both locals and visitors. “Conducting elections in a region still infested with a terror infrastructure was not just immature, it was suicidal. Replacing the Director General of Police at a crucial time reeked of casualness in the face of an existential threat. What we are seeing is not a governance failure , it is a collapse of political will.”
The Panun Kashmir Chairman minced no words in describing the ideological roots of the killing. “They targeted Hindus. Let that not be diluted. This is not a random act of violence; it is a calculated, premeditated, ideological assault aimed at reasserting Islamist supremacy in the Valley. Nothing has changed , the same forces that pushed us into exile are asserting themselves again, and the state is looking the other way.”
Panun Kashmir warned the Union Government that such attacks will continue unless a radical policy shift is adopted. “The illusion of peace in Kashmir is being sustained through lies, manipulations, and suppression of truth. The terror machinery remains intact, and its ecosystem has not been dismantled. The killing in Pahalgam proves that terrorism has not been defeated , it has merely changed its posture.”
On asking by the scribe that what is the solution. Dr Chrungoo assertively said,
"Panun Kashmir asserts , with absolute clarity , that the only sustainable, strategic and just solution is the immediate creation of Panun Kashmir, a separate Union Territory on the homeland of Kashmiri Hindus, carved out within the Valley, with full constitutional safeguards and direct central administration. This is not a demand for privilege , it is a demand rooted in the right to exist, the right to return with dignity, and the right to protect future generations from annihilation.
Panun Kashmir is not a political slogan , it is the only counter to the Islamist terror that seeks to erase an entire indigenous identity. Unless Kashmiri Hindus are politically empowered on their own land, unless there is a tangible foothold to reclaim justice, there can be no peace, no healing, and certainly no end to terrorism. The Indian State must decide , will it continue to peddle illusions, or will it finally rise to meet the call of history?"
Dr. Chrungoo concluded: “This attack is a message from the terrorists and their backers: that Hindus are not welcome in Kashmir. The only adequate response to this genocidal mindset is a sovereign political assertion , not silence, not compromise, and certainly not tourism festivals. No more delusions. No more appeasement. It is time for Panun Kashmir.”
