Condemning “terrorism” without naming Pakistan: Trampling the graves of Kashmir’s martyrs
“Kashmir demands sentinels of truth, not these craven betrayers who barter justice for safety. The people need voices that will proclaim “Pakistan is a terrorist state” with the clarity of a tolling bell, until the world cannot turn away. This assembly resolution is not a failure it is a sin against the soul of Kashmir.”
Mir Junaid
The Jammu & Kashmir Assembly’s resolution is a monument to infamy, a wretched betrayal that profanes the sacred blood of the innocent. By refusing to name Pakistan the vile, terrorist state that has turned Kashmir into a charnel house these politicians have not merely faltered; they have plunged their hands into the wounds of their people, their silence a blasphemy against truth. This is no resolution; it is a covenant with death, a moral ruin that cries out for divine & human judgment. Let these so-called leaders quake, for their cowardice has damned them before the eyes of the living & the dead.
To condemn “terrorism” without naming Pakistan is to trample the graves of Kashmir’s martyrs. Pakistan, that accursed fountain of terror, has unleashed a deluge of horror bombs that rend flesh, bullets that orphan children, massacres that mock the very name of humanity. Yet these Assembly members, with eyes averted & hearts locked shut, refuse to speak its name. Each empty word they whisper is a blade sharpened for Pakistan’s butchers, each quivering dodge a sentence of death for another Kashmiri. This is not hesitation it is treachery, a betrayal so bitter it poisons the air with the scent of grief, heavier than the earth that cradles Kashmir’s unwept dead. These clerks of calamity & cowardice, these faceless scribes, stand at their podiums, their pens scratching vague indictments terrorism, they murmur, terrorism as if the name of the executioner were not carved in every wound.
Forty-four thousand lives not entries in a clerk’s book, but breaths, dreams, faces—mothers who braided hair in the dawn’s light, fathers who carried children on weary shoulders all erased, all crushed in the grinding jaws of Pakistan’s terror. For forty years, this danse macabre attacks, bombs, butchery has waltzed through Kashmir, choreographed by Pakistan’s deathmills, grinding grief as their anthem. And these politicians? They lounge in their halls, sipping tea, bartering votes, while the cries of the slain pierce the heavens. Their silence is not neutrality it is complicity, a choice to let the slaughter endure while the earth groans beneath its burden of grief.
Who are these shadows of men? Who are these sinners before God, these false shepherds who call themselves leaders? These false apostles of the people’s trust? Who are these functionaries of futility, these paper-pushing betrayers who call themselves leaders? Are they cowed by fear of Pakistan’s wrath, their spirits broken by the specter of retribution, their hands dripping with the gold of betrayal while blood pools at their feet? Refusing to cry out the truth: Pakistan is a terrorist state. This is not cowardice it is collusion, a betrayal that stamps the widow’s grief, the orphan’s hunger, the body broken by Pakistan’s hand. They are not leaders—they are cogs, they are functionaries of despair, turning, grinding their people into dust, & the people must smash the machine to expose their shame.
Pakistan is no neighbor; it is the abomination that desolates, it is the tyrant of terror, its heart a furnace where the innocent are consumed. It is the formless dread that lurks in the margins of every report. It signs the orders, it scripts the massacres that turn Kashmir into a ledger of loss. This is a terrorist state, its deeds a file too heavy to lift. To refuse to name it is to deny the victims their names, to shred the evidence of their pain in the machinery of silence. These politicians’ silence does not absolve it convicts, ensuring Pakistan’s engine hums on, its blades sharpened by their complicity.
Kashmir demands sentinels of truth, not these craven betrayers who barter justice for safety. The people need voices that will proclaim “Pakistan is a terrorist state” with the clarity of a tolling bell, until the world cannot turn away. This assembly resolution is not a failure it is a sin against the soul of Kashmir.
