Claim

After dialogue was given another chance post-2014, terror attacks followed first at Pathankot, then Pulwama, and then last year in 2025 at Pahalgam.

“पहले पाटन कोर्ट में आतंकी हमले हुए, फिर पुलवामा में और फिर पिछले साल 2025 में पहलगाम में आतंकी हमला हुआ।”

Rationale

The stated sequence and dates check out. After the Modi government's dialogue overture to Pakistan (including the surprise Lahore visit of 25 December 2015), the Pathankot airbase attack followed on 2 January 2016, the Pulwama attack on 14 February 2019, and the Pahalgam attack on 22 April 2025 — which is indeed 'last year' relative to the 1 July 2026 broadcast. The chronological ordering Pathankot → Pulwama → Pahalgam is correct, and each attack is attributed by Indian authorities and mainstream sources to Pakistan-based groups, consistent with the claim's framing.
