Claim
Last April in Pahalgam, Pakistani terrorists killed 26 tourists after asking them their religion.
“पिछले साल अप्रैल में पहलगाम में पाकिस्तानी आतंकवादियों ने 26 पर्यटकों का धर्म पूछ-पूछकर उनकी हत्या की।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion confirmed: in April 2025 at Pahalgam, 26 tourists were killed after being asked their religion. Attribution to 'Pakistani terrorists' is supported — the attack was claimed by TRF, a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. The death toll, timing, and religion-profiling detail all match reporting. 'Last April' relative to the 2026-07-01 broadcast correctly refers to April 2025.
