Every time an Islamic terrorist attack takes place in the country, the terror apologist machinery gets activated with their ready-made, done-to-death narrative about how these attacks have nothing to do with religion.

Al Jazeera referred to Kashmir as “Indian-administered Kashmir” and described the terrorists as “gunmen”, thereby watering down the intensity and seriousness of the attack. In the video, Al Jazeera claimed no one had claimed responsibility for the attack, but stated that “the police blamed armed groups fighting against Indian rule”.
A report published by The Wire and authored by one Jehangir Ali quotes an eyewitness of the attack from a video that went viral minutes after it was uploaded online. In the video, a woman, clearly shocked by the attack, could be heard frantically saying that terrorists came and fired bullets at her husband after asking his name and saying he was not a Muslim.
Terrorists reportedly checked ID cards and pulled down tourists' pants to check their religious identity, shooting them at point blank on being non-Muslim.
In this vein, The Leaflet, a leftist propaganda outlet run by senior advocate Indira Jaising, published an article on 20th April 2025, attacking VP Dhankhar for criticising what he deemed judicial overreach. The Leaflet suggested that Dhankhar’s strongly worded criticism of the judiciary in a particular context comes at a multi-faceted cost, including political, constitutional and legal, moral, as well as credibility.
