On 22 April 2025, a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir claimed the lives of 26 Hindu tourists. While the nation mourned, a disturbing trend followed: several Indian politicians, activists, and social media users made statements or posts that deflected blame from the perpetrators and instead targeted the Indian government.
One such post came from the official X handle of the Indian National Congress, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “disappearing during times of responsibility”—accompanied by an edited image showing Modi’s head cut off. The timing and tone of such posts aligned closely with narratives pushed by Pakistani politicians and state-backed media.
This report documents 9 significant instances between 23 April and 28 April 2025, where Indian voices made controversial remarks about the Pahalgam attack—remarks that were amplified or endorsed by Pakistani leaders, commentators, and news outlets to blame India for the attack and justify terrorism.

#2 Congress Handle Shares Headless Image Of PM, Fmr Pak Min Reshares It
On Monday, 28 April 2025, the official Congress X handle posted an image featuring Prime Minister Modi’s body with the head edited out and the word “Gayab” (missing) emblazoned across it. Though the post did not explicitly name the Prime Minister, his clothes gave away their intent. The caption accompanying the image read: “Disappears at the time of responsibility”. The post was a veiled reference to PM Modi’s ‘absence’ from the all-party meeting held to discuss the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region.
The controversy escalated further when the same image was picked up and shared by former Pakistani Minister Fawad Hussain Chaudhry. He mocked the Indian Prime Minister, posting: “Had heard about missing horns from donkey’s head, but here Modi has gone missing.” This endorsement from a Pakistani political figure ignited outrage in Indian political circles, particularly among BJP leaders.

He further accused those behind the violence of deliberately provoking riots in India and criticized authorities for ignoring advance warnings.
The post, which criticized the ruling party’s handling of dissent, was amplified by Pakistani handle “PTI_ Promoti0n” in the context of the Pahalgam terror attack backlash stating, “Now an FIR will be filed against this person too because she is also exposing the BJP.”

#8 Ranting Gola’s Video Sermonizing Hindus For Pahalgam Terror Attack Shared By Pakistani Handle
The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, where 26 Hindu pilgrims were brutally killed, shocked the entire nation. Initial survivor accounts revealed that Islamist militants separated Hindus from others by asking them to recite the Kalma or remove their pants, before targeting them — an act chillingly similar to past religious profiling by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists.
Instead of acknowledging the clear communal nature of the massacre, Ranting Gola chose to spin the incident as a political stunt by the Modi government, claiming it was being used for the Bihar elections. In a viral video, she accused the Indian media of “hiding the truth” and implied a false equivalence between Indian electoral politics and Islamist terrorism.
Shockingly, a Pakistani channel picked up her video and used it to attack the Indian government, labelling the Pahalgam terror attack a political gimmick.
