Pahalgam Terror Attack: Why Western media loves to call terrorists 'gunmen'
Friday, 25 April 2025 () When 26 Hindu tourists were methodically executed in Kashmir’s Pahalgam valley — identified by name, religion, and in some cases, their inability to recite Islamic prayers — the global media did what it does best: looked away, chose its words carefully, and reached for the comforting vocabulary of denial.

The Indian Army showcased a high-impact video titled “Destroy the Enemy in the Sky” during a special briefing on Operation Sindoor. The footage, featuring dramatic visuals of joint military action, included a collage labeled "The Pakistani Mirage...Shattered", triggering speculation that a Pakistani fighter jet was downed. While the Indian Air Force has not confirmed the claim, the operation—launched in response to the deadly April 22 Pahalgam terror attack—underscores rising tensions. Senior commanders linked the retaliation to Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba and elements of its military establishment.
