The serene town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir turned into a scene of tragedy as a brutal terrorist attack claimed 26 lives, shaking the nation’s conscience and reigniting a fierce debate over India’s internal security preparedness. The incident, which targeted both civilians and security forces, has drawn widespread condemnation from across the political spectrum and civil society.
In the aftermath of the attack, questions are being raised about the leadership of Home Minister Amit Shah. Critics argue that repeated lapses in security cannot be overlooked, especially when the region remains a known hotspot for militant activities. Has enough been done to prevent such incidents? And more importantly, who takes responsibility when the system fails?
Social media is ablaze with calls for accountability, with #AmitShah and #KashmirAttack trending across platforms. While some demand the Home Minister’s resignation as a symbolic act of responsibility, others warn against politicizing a national tragedy.
Beyond individual accountability lies a more complex question—are India’s security challenges in Kashmir systemic and deeply entrenched? Decades of conflict, unresolved political issues, intelligence gaps, and cross-border terrorism have created a volatile environment that quick fixes or leadership changes alone may not resolve.
Experts argue that consistent dialogue, long-term counterterrorism strategies, and inclusive governance in the region are crucial for sustained peace. The attack has exposed not just a failure in protection, but a need for a more comprehensive approach to national security.
India mourns the lives lost in Pahalgam, and with mourning comes the demand for action. Whether or not Amit Shah resigns, the central issue remains: how can India prevent such tragedies in the future? Is it time to move beyond reactive responses and adopt a deeper, strategic rethinking of its Kashmir policy?
Join the conversation:
Should Amit Shah resign? Or is the issue bigger than any one leader?
