Lyricist Manoj Muntashir shared a powerful video message after the Pahalgam terror attack that took the lives of 26 tourists, leaving several others injured. Muntashir expressed his deep sorrow and anger, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take strong action. He asserted that the core issue lies not just with terrorism, but with the involvement of the Pakistani army.
“Maybe this time your brother or son wasn’t killed. But how long will you stay safe? If not in Kashmir, you could be killed in Murshidabad, in Kolkata, in Godhra, in Delhi, or in Muzaffarnagar. If you’ve accepted being a goat instead of a lion, then be prepared for slaughter," he said in Hindi.
Further, he also referred to the horrific killing of Karnataka resident Manjunath Shivam, who was reportedly tortured and murdered in front of his wife, Pallavi. “When Pallavi pleaded with the terrorists to take her life too, they replied—‘We won’t kill you. Just go and tell Modi.’"

The ‘Adipurush’ writer made an emotional appeal to PM Modi, saying, “Yes, we will speak to Modi. You are the father of the nation, the guardian of a hundred crore Hindus. Your children have been massacred, your daughters left widowed, and mothers have lost their sons at your doorstep.”
Concluding his fiery message, he said, “Our murderers told one of our daughters, ‘Go and tell Modi.’ We’ve told you, sir. Now it’s your move."
The incident took place on April 22 in the popular Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, where a few terrorists launched an open fire on tourists, killing 26, including a Nepali citizen. The terror act has left the entire nation mourning the lives of innocent individuals who simply wanted to make memories for a lifetime with their friends and family members.
India, in retaliation, announced a series of strategic countermeasures against Pakistan to combat "cross-border terrorism". On Wednesday night, the Ministry of External Affairs called an urgent press conference and outlined many steps, including the definite suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, and an immediate shutdown of the Integrated Check Post at the Attari-Wagah border.
