In a powerful reflection of public sentiment in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, a local rickshaw driver has called the recent Pahalgam attack a "false flag operation" by India.
The driver’s remarks echo the long-standing stance of Kashmiri Muslims who have never accepted Indian occupation.
When asked about the incident, the rickshaw driver responded bluntly: "The Pahalgam attack is an Indian ploy. You don’t live in India — we live in Kashmir, and Kashmir is not part of India."
Experts say the rickshaw driver's statement resonates deeply with the people of Kashmir, expressing the collective voice of a population that continues to resist Indian rule. Whenever given the chance, Kashmiris reaffirm their rejection of Indian control, as seen through such spontaneous public declarations.
