Brigadier Deep Bhagat, a former Special Forces officer, called the Pahalgam attack a communal division strategy and called for unity among Indians.
The video was shared by his son, a content creator on Instagram.
A retired army officer and recipient of the Gallantry Award has urged unity as the nation grieves the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. He warns people not to fall into the trap of communal divide, which he claims is precisely what the terrorists want. In an Instagram video posted by his son, content creator Anish Bhagat, Brigadier Deep Bhagat (Retd), a gallantry award-winning Indian Army veteran with over 30 years of service, voiced his opinions.
“It’s a tactic. To divide us on communal lines,” Brigadier Bhagat said in the video when questioned if he thought the Pahalgam attack was intended for Hindus.
“No, it was against Indians,” he explained, adding that the massacres’ perpetrators aimed to incite religious tensions and psychological instability throughout the nation.
In the face of such tactics, the former officer underlined the need to stay unified. “They are playing a psychological game to create fights in our country on religious grounds. And that’s the real aim,” he added towards the end of the video.
Brigadier Bhagat took credit for his faith when Anish Bhagat questioned him about what gave him the courage to go on operations against terrorists in his early years. He said plainly, “My faith in Hanuman ji.”
The video was shared on April 29, and it has collected over 4.5 million views so far. As the video gained traction, the Army veteran received a lot of praise on the internet for his wisdom.
A user wrote, “You are a true patriot.”
Another commented, “Totally agreed, as an Indian, we should stand united.”
“Thank you for making this video so well. We need this right now more than ever,” a user said on Instagram.
“Answered everything very clearly and aptly,” another remarked.
Pahalgam, a famous destination in Kashmir famed for its stunning valleys and trekking routes, was the scene of the April 22 terror attack. A group of tourists in the Baisaran Valley, which is only reachable on foot or horseback, were shot at by terrorists.
In what witnesses called a horrific massacre, at least 25 Indian visitors and one Nepali national were killed. Some survivors said that the men were intentionally targeted, while others recalled being fired at from a close distance.
