Nation Gripped with Anger After Pahalgam Attack
The April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, that killed 26 innocent civilians, has sparked nationwide outrage. As citizens and political leaders demand strict action against terrorism, a controversial statement by Karnataka’s Minister for Minority Welfare B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan has gone viral, drawing sharp public attention.
Minister’s Shocking Plea to PM Modi and Amit Shah
During a press conference on Friday, Minister Zameer Khan said:
“If Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah allow me, I am ready to go to war. Give me a suicide bomb, I’ll strap it to myself and go to Pakistan.”
Calling Pakistan a persistent enemy of India, Khan said he was willing to take extreme steps to avenge the killings in Kashmir. His statement has stirred debate across political and public spheres, with mixed reactions ranging from support to criticism.
Denunciation of Pahalgam Attack
Before making the controversial remarks, Khan strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, describing it as a “heinous and inhuman act against innocent civilians.” He urged all Indians to stand united and called on the central government to take stringent national security measures.
