Baloch journalist accuses Pakistan of sponsoring terror on 1st anniversary of Pahalgam terror attack

Bilal Baloch condemns Pakistan for sponsoring terror on the first anniversary of the Pahalgam attack that killed 26, calling for global accountability.

"The terms 'Pakistan' and 'Pakistani' have unfortunately become associated with threats not only to neighbouring countries but also globally - Bilal Baloch"

Switzerland, April 21

On the first anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, Baloch journalist and human rights activist Bilal Baloch has strongly criticised Pakistan, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism and calling for greater global accountability.

"As a Baloch and a victim of Pakistani government atrocities, I deeply empathise with the pain of the Pahalgam victims' families. I unequivocally condemn such barbaric attacks. These incidents are not isolated and must never be forgotten," Baloch said, marking the anniversary of the attack.

The attack, which took place on April 22 a year ago in the scenic town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, claimed 26 innocent lives and left several others injured.

It had sent shockwaves across the region, once again highlighting the persistent threat of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and the severe human cost borne by civilians.

Recalling the tragedy, Baloch extended his condolences to the victims' families, stating, "I reiterate my condemnation of terrorism and extend my heartfelt sympathy to those who lost their loved ones in this tragic incident."

He further alleged that such incidents reflect a broader and sustained pattern of violence.

"The terms 'Pakistan' and 'Pakistani' have unfortunately become associated with threats not only to neighbouring countries but also globally," he said, while also raising concerns over alleged human rights violations in regions such as Balochistan.

"It is unfortunate that the international community often remains silent on these issues. However, I remain hopeful that when global priorities shift, those responsible will eventually be held accountable, as history has shown with many regimes," he added.

Calling for stronger international engagement, Baloch suggested that victims' families should be given platforms to share their experiences.

"India should bring these families to international forums so that they can directly express their pain to the world. This would help the global community better understand the human impact of such violence," he said.

As the anniversary is observed, the memory of the victims continues to resonate, renewing global calls for justice, accountability, and stronger collective efforts to combat terrorism in all its forms.

As someone who has visited Kashmir, this is deeply saddening. The silence of the international community is deafening. When will there be real accountability? My thoughts are with the families.

Powerful statement. When a Baloch activist speaks out, it shows the true nature of the Pakistani state—oppressive at home, exporte r of terror abroad. India must indeed amplify these victim stories on every global platform. Enough is enough.

While I agree with the sentiment, I hope our own government's response focuses on healing and security for Kashmiris, not just political point-scoring. The human cost is what matters most. Let's support the families, not just use their pain as a narrative.

The world turns a blind eye because of geopolitics. China shields them, others look away. But truth has a way of coming out. Salute to Bilal Baloch for his courage. The people of Balochistan and Kashmir suffer from the same source.

Never forget Pahalgam. Every year we remember, and every year we demand action. Our security forces are doing their best, but the root cause across the border needs to be addressed globally. Bilal is right about giving families a voice.
