Members of the Indian community were staging a protest condemning the ghastly terror attack that killed 26 civilians in Baisaran near Pahalgam on April 22.
A member said, "We are here to support the Indians. I'm Indian Jewish, and we have a big Jewish community over here, which always supports India because we have the same enemies; Islamic radicalisation is there all over the world. Israel faced on October 7th (2023), and when I saw that it happened in India, it reminded me of that. Terrorists came and killed innocent people, and this terrorism is fed by the Pakistani Islamic regime, and we will be here and will support India all the time. PM Modi is doing great work, and I hope he does something to stop this terrorism. I was caught in a bomb blast in Bombay in the 90s. I escaped, but I know from personal experience how a bomb or a terrorist activity could affect people. We are here and we will always be together."
The video of the Pak attache's throat-slitting gesture was shared on X and left the netizens visible angered.
Tehseen Poonawalla, a venture capitalist, said, "What a sick disgusting man! Never seen this kind crazy, violent behavior from an army (defense) Attache."
Meanwhile, another netizen said, "The throat-slitting gesture is a stark reminder of the lack of civility among Pakistan's military and diplomatic figures. This isn’t just an isolated act, it mirrors the oppressive tactics used against peaceful protesters in Balochistan, where enforced disappearances and violence are rampant. No wonder Balochistan is boiling with anger and unrest."
