No evidence establishing that the Indian government deliberately orchestrated the Pahalgam attack has been presented in the material provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report says that several Indian political figures and critics have previously questioned the official narrative surrounding the incident. It cites former Gujarat politician <strong>Shankersinh Vaghela<\/strong> as having accused the Modi government of involvement in earlier violence in Gujarat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also claims that voices in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir have described the Pahalgam incident as a planned conspiracy and questioned the circumstances surrounding the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report further refers to security analyst <strong>Dr Ajai Sahni<\/strong>, who allegedly described the Pahalgam incident as a carefully planned operation. However, the specific context and evidentiary basis of these reported remarks are not provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former governor of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir <strong>Satya Pal Malik<\/strong> is also cited as having criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the incident and called for him to apologize to the country and resign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report additionally mentions former legislator <strong>Vijay Tiwari<\/strong>, who allegedly placed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack on the Indian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions Over the Official Narrative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegations have emerged as part of a wider political debate in India over the government&#8217;s handling of the Pahalgam attack and its subsequent response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, critics have questioned the speed with which accusations against Pakistan were made following the incident and have called for greater transparency regarding the evidence supporting those accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indian singer <strong>Neha Singh Rathore<\/strong> is also cited as having criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, questioning why major terrorist attacks repeatedly occur during BJP rule and arguing that political attention is sometimes redirected toward external threats rather than domestic issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report portrays these statements as evidence of growing criticism inside India of the government&#8217;s handling of the Pahalgam incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, allegations concerning a government-organized \u201cfalse flag\u201d operation are highly consequential and politically contested. They should be distinguished from independently verified findings. Statements by individual journalists, politicians or public figures do not by themselves establish that a government was responsible for an attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pahalgam incident has nevertheless had significant political and diplomatic consequences, particularly in relations between India and Pakistan. The competing narratives surrounding responsibility for the attack have contributed to heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegations cited in the report therefore form part of a broader dispute over accountability, evidence and the political use of terrorism-related incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While critics cited by the report have questioned the Indian government&#8217;s version of events, establishing the truth of the allegations would require independently verifiable evidence, including credible investigations into the attackers, planning, financing and chain of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until such evidence is publicly established, claims that the Pahalgam attack was deliberately organized by the Indian government remain allegations rather than proven facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Questions surrounding the political motives behind the Pahalgam attack and the Indian government\u2019s subsequent narrative have resurfaced after Indian journalist Ajai Shukla reportedly..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-showbiz"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683.png",800,927,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683-259x300.png",259,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683-768x890.png",768,890,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683.png",800,927,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683.png",800,927,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11111-2026-09-12T184917.683.png",800,927,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=5\" rel=\"category\">Showbiz<\/a>","tag_info":"Showbiz","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15451"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15453,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15451\/revisions\/15453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
