Islamic terrorism is like a mosquito: Eliminate it before it breeds

Blood has memory. And in the soil of Pahalgam, it now remembers the cries of the innocent and the last breaths of our people.

Another attack. Another funeral. Another silence that screams louder than any siren. We are told to stay calm, to be patient, to trust the process—but how many more times must we carry the weight of tricolour-draped coffins before we admit the truth we keep denying? That this is not a random act of violence. It is a pattern. A war by design. And the enemy—ruthless, radicalised, and relentless—is not hiding in the shadows. It is breeding openly, funded, trained, and sheltered by a state that has turned jihad into its only export. We cry, we rage, we promise justice—but then we sleep again. Until the next attack. The question is no longer why it happened. The question is—why are we still pretending it won't happen again?

The nature of a mosquito is to bite and suck blood. It doesn't do it out of hatred. It does it because it is built that way. You can curse it, you can pray for it to change, you can hope it feels compassion—but none of it matters. The mosquito will bite. You can either endure the itching, the disease, the pain, or you can be smart and use a repellant. There is no third option. This simple truth applies exactly to Islamic terrorism emanating out of Pakistan. The Pahalgam attack is just another bloody reminder. More innocent Indian lives taken. Another warning that will be forgotten until the next attack shakes us awake. But let's be clear: Pakistan's terror machine is not a temporary phase. It is not a policy of a few bad apples in Islamabad. It is Pakistan's strategy—to use terror as a weapon against India. And like the mosquito, it will not stop just because we wish it would.
