Will go to Pakistan with suicide bomb
Amid soaring tensions between India and Pakistan following a brutal terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, Karnataka Housing and Minorities Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan made headlines with a bold and controversial statement. Speaking to the media on Friday, Khan offered to personally carry out a suicide mission against Pakistan if permitted by the central government.

“Pakistan has always been an enemy of India,” Khan said at a press conference. “If Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah allow me, I’m ready to go to war. Give me a suicide bomb, I’ll strap it on and attack Pakistan myself.”
Khan’s fiery remarks went viral, drawing mixed reactions across the political spectrum and social media. His comments came in the wake of his strong condemnation of the April 22 terror attack, in which Lashkar-e-Taiba-linked militants ambushed a group of tourists in Pahalgam, killing at least 26 people, including foreign nationals, and injuring many others.

According to reports, the attackers belonging to The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba had conducted surveillance of Pahalgam hotels weeks in advance. On the day of the attack, they stopped the tourist group, forced them to recite the ‘Kalima’, checked their religious identity by ordering them to pull down their trousers, and killed Hindu men on the spot. A local pony operator who tried to intervene was also killed.

Khan condemned the attack as a “heinous and inhuman act” and called for national unity in the face of terrorism. He urged the central government to adopt tougher measures to safeguard national security.

In the aftermath of the massacre, India retaliated by scaling down diplomatic ties with Pakistan, halting the Indus Water Treaty, expelling Pakistani military attaches, and closing its airspace to Pakistani aircraft. Pakistan responded with reciprocal actions, including suspension of trade and closure of its airspace to Indian flights.
