Following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, senior BJP leader H Raja strongly condemned the incident and called for the monitoring of individuals who express support for Pakistan.
Speaking to the media on 28 April, Raja criticized leaders like VCK’s Thol Thirumavalavan, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and others, accusing them of showing support for Pakistan. He stated that groups like Hamas, which have carried out violent attacks against Israel, are among the main organizations driving global Islamic terrorism, most of which operate from Pakistan—not Arab countries. He added that during a Hamas attack on Israel that killed over 5,000 people, the Israeli public stood by their government rather than blaming it. In contrast, he said, India has more people who speak against their own country than foreign enemies do.
Raja went on to say that some individuals within India, whom he called traitors, even observed India’s Independence Day in 1947 as a day of mourning. He accused them of being like mercenaries who once served the British. He also claimed that the Pakistani flag was raised in Melpalayam on 14 August 1947, as a sign of misplaced allegiance. Drawing a comparison with the United States, he said that although Americans come from different places, they don’t speak against their country the way some do in India. According to Raja, it’s this internal disloyalty that gives an advantage to countries like Pakistan, which oppose India.
H. Raja cautioned, “What I want to tell them is: stop speaking against the nation expressing support for Pakistan. We also desire it, we are not war mongers, but if war does arise sometimes, can anyone guarantee that these individuals won’t act against the country? Right now, what are the they are openly speaking and writing in Facebook? Asks ‘Can we blame the nation for the wrongdoings of four or five?’ Yet the country has admitted itself. Their Defense Minister, Khawaja, has stated that, ‘we’ve been involved in such activities against India for the past 30 years.”
Continuing his criticism, H. Raja took aim at VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan, saying, “I am asking, does this Thirumavalavan not know justice at all? Does he not have any loyalty towards this country? Is it his condition to speak against the country? Therefore, if a war comes tomorrow such bad force will act against this country. Therefore, the government should put them under surveillance right now. I would like to inform you that if not, the country will be in danger.”
H. Raja went on to criticize the DMK and its allies for their hypocrisy. He targeted those who celebrated and supported Karnataka leaders like D.K. Shivakumar—who had openly stated that he would not release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu—by offering them snacks like bajjis, Kovilpatti groundnuts, and even Kanchipuram silk.
He accused Thirumavalavan and the Communist factions of backing both Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar, despite their refusal to provide even a drop of water to Tamil Nadu. Raja noted that while India generously gives 80% of the Indus River’s water to Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistan continues to act aggressively toward India.
He condemned the Pakistani sympathizers as as “evil forces” and warned, “if they continue on this path, the people of India will rise up and silence them.”
