Businessman Robert Vadra has fiercely denounced the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking to news agency ANI, he described the attack as a “cowardly act,” criticizing the attackers for targeting innocent civilians.
Religion and Politics Must Remain Separate
During his interaction, Vadra emphasized that religion and politics must not be mixed. He highlighted that the terrorists checked identity cards before targeting the victims, believing wrongly that Muslims were being suppressed in India.
He firmly stated that such incidents are “acts of cowardice” and should not be politicized. Vadra added that only by remaining united and upholding secularism can India safeguard itself from vulnerabilities that neighboring adversaries might exploit.
Impact on Locals and the Need for Government Support
Robert Vadra expressed concerns about the long-term economic impact on the local population. He pointed out that due to such violent incidents, many locals, especially those relying on tourism and related activities, could lose their jobs. He urged the central government to step in and provide necessary assistance to the affected families and businesses.

Minorities Feeling Insecure in the Current Environment
Sharing his personal anguish, Vadra stated that he felt deep sorrow for the victims of the Pahalgam attack. He criticized the current political atmosphere, saying that minorities are feeling increasingly uncomfortable and anxious due to the rising focus on Hindutva narratives.
Terrorists Exploiting Religious Divides
Analyzing the situation, Vadra said the attackers deliberately targeted individuals based on their religious identity, a direct consequence of the division between Hindus and Muslims that has been fostered within the country. He warned that such divisions embolden extremist groups.

A Clear Message to the Prime Minister
Vadra said that the Pahalgam attack sends a strong message to the Prime Minister. He insisted that it is critical for national leadership to ensure minorities feel safe and equal. Without a firm commitment to secularism from the top, incidents like these might continue to occur.
He concluded by saying, “We must create an environment where every citizen, regardless of religion, feels protected. Only then can we truly uphold the spirit of India.”
