EP-288 | Pahalgam Attack: How Pak-Backed Terrorists Planned it & Will India Respond?

India has faced its worst terrorist attack on civilians since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. In Kashmir's Pahalgam, 27 innocent lives were lost and 15 others were injured in an attack backed by Pakistan. Terrorists opened fire at point-blank range, targeting innocent tourists. Four terrorists stormed the popular tourist location, creating chaos for 20 minutes. Will India respond to this attack? What will be New Delhi’s reaction? In this episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, we are joined by Lieutenant General Devendra Pratap Pandey (Retd), former Commander of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps. He explains why terrorists chose Pahalgam to attack civilians, what message Pakistan intends to send to India and Kashmir, and whether the terrorists had local support. Pandey also discusses whether there could be more attacks like the one in Pahalgam and blames Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for orchestrating these attacks, calling him the "Kingpin" behind them. #pahalgamterrorattack #pahalgam #kashmirnews #anipodcastwithsmitaprakash Timestamps 00:00 – Coming Up 02:00 – Introduction 03:00 – Intel Failure Behind the Attack 05:33 – Pakistan’s Message to Kashmiris 07:20 – 'Asim Munir Behind the Attack' 10:11 – Why Only Tourists Were Targeted 15:54 – Gulmarg Fashion Show Controversy 17:20 – Who Tipped the Terrorists Off 19:55 – Why Women and Children Were Spared 23:20 – Rising Tourism in Kashmir 26:55 – What Kashmiris Think of the Terror Attack 30:22 – India vs Pakistan: Leadership Compared 32:40 – India’s Response to the Attack 35:17 – Casualties in the War 36:57 – ISI’s Propaganda 38:30 – Consequences of War 40:42 – 'Pakistan Wants a War' 45:16 – Civilian, Military, and Intel Coordination 48:33 – Why the Terrorist Said “Tell Modi” 52:32 – NC & PDP’s Stance on the Attack 55:56 – A Message for Indians Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks:    / @aninewsindia   Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
