The terror attack in Pahalgam was a Pulwama 2.0 moment and the country must respond respond something like how Israel responded to the Hamas attacks on its soil, said former Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Shesh Paul Vaid.
News agency ANI quoted Paul as saying that the terrorist attack at the picnic spot in Pahalgam was similar to October 7 attack carried out by Palestine's terror outfit Hamas in Israel.
"This was a Hamas-style attack on 7 October on Israel. It's not a coincidence that Asim Munir (Pakistan Army chief) uttered illogical words two days back, and then such an attack takes place where the religion of the tourists was asked," the former DGP said. "Our response should be appropriate, something like how Israel responded," he added.
He said that the Indian government should respond in the same way that Israel responded. "Our response should be appropriate, something like how Israel responded... This terror attack was unleashed by the Pakistan army. I have been saying that these are SSG (Special Service Group) commandos of the Pakistan army posing as terrorists," he stated.
India should break Pakistan army's back and break Pakistan into four parts. All of this is being done under Asim Munir's command... Pakistan army chief wants to escalate the situation. He wants to prove his credentials. Let him first prove his identity," he added.
"It was a well-planned attack... Let them (Pakistan) be alert! I appeal to all the people from Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and POK to revolt against the Pakistan army's terrorist actions and declare independence. India should break Pakistan army's back and break Pakistan into four parts," Paul further added.
Paul alleged that the Pakistan Army chief was behind the deadly terror attack. "All of this is being done under Asim Munir's command... Pakistan army chief wants to escalate the situation. He wants to prove his credentials... Let him first prove his identity," the ex-J&K DGP stated.
Notably, the Pahalgam attack took place days after General Munir made anti-Hindu remarks and continued with his anti-India rhetoric while addressing the Overseas Pakistanis Convention in Islamabad last week.
Justifying the two-nation theory, General Munir said that India and Pakistan are two different nations. He stressed that Hindus are different from Pakistan in every aspect.
Speaking at the event, the Pakistani Army chief stated that every Pakistani should narrate the story of the country to the coming generations so that they should not forget the story of the creation of Pakistan.
