00:00Even tourists have been killed in that attack, so what's your first reaction?
00:06Well, it's an act of madness and an act of insanity, but there's much more to it, quite
00:10frankly. Obviously, it has been very carefully planned, this attack. Why do I say that? This
00:20is Baisaran Valley, is a little uphill from Pehlgaam, okay? Nobody can go there by car
00:29or any other mode of transportation except by ponies. So it will take time for any security
00:35force to reach there, right? Then the non-local people go there to the valley, right? So it
00:45was filled with non-local people. So for terrorists to actually spot this particular place, they
00:56must have planned it very carefully, right? And one is told that they probably came from
01:04Kishthwar through Kokarnag and then here. Then what they did was when they reached there, they
01:14had AK-42, two of them had AK-47s, the others also had weapons. Then what they did was that
01:24they segregated the men from the families and targeted the men. This also must have been
01:32thought of earlier. And they also knew that by the time any information reaches the security
01:38forces, because this, as you know, Pehlgaam is a high security zone because of the shrine
01:44there, right? The Amanat shrine there. So they would have known that it will take time for
01:50the security force to reach there. So they vanished, right? So therefore, number one, it is a very
01:57carefully planned attack, right? To target innocent people. Now, what is important, more important
02:05is that the general, General Asim Munir of Pakistan made a statement just one week ago. What did he
02:21say? Our stance is absolutely clear. It was our jugular vein. He is talking about Kashmir. It
02:29is our jugular vein. It will be our jugular vein. We will not forget it. We will not leave our Kashmiri
02:37brothers in their heroic struggle, right? Then this is apparently an arm of the Lakshirai Toiba that
02:47has taken this, accepted that this is our attack, right? It's called the resistance force. It's an arm
02:56of the Lakshirai Toiba. Now, if the general makes this statement and an arm of a Lakshirai Toiba is doing
03:04this and that they are all located in Pakistan. So it's an act of terrorism by the state.
03:14It's state-sponsored terrorism. Now, under our terrorist act, you can
03:21proscribe terrorist organizations. If it's state-sponsored terrorism, Pakistan should be
03:29proscribed as a terrorist organization. And those responsible for this should be prosecuted in the
03:36International Criminal Court as is sought to be done by some other, against some other heads of state,
03:43right? So I urge the Home Minister to prescribe Pakistan as a terrorist state and a terrorist organization
03:51under our act and move the International Criminal Court for prosecution. And I am sure that the entire
04:00opposition, at least I will stand by the Prime Minister and the Home Minister, and I'm sure the
04:05opposition will do that too. Because what is also suggested is that 85,000 domicile certificates
04:12have been granted to non-Kashmiris. And it is said that the intent of this attack is to send a message
04:22that we will not allow the demography of Kashmir to be changed.
