Another Staged Encounter in IIOJK: Operation Mahadev Exposed

In another harsh episode of orchestrated violence, Indian forces have once again shed innocent blood in the name of “national security” in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The Dachigam fake encounter, which left three young Kashmiris martyred, is not an isolated act; it is part of a systematic, premeditated campaign designed to sustain India’s occupation.

Declaring them “terrorists” without evidence, Indian authorities used this operation not to uphold security, but to manufacture legitimacy for a crumbling narrative. The timing, just as India faced tough questions over the Pahalgam incident, was too precise to be coincidence; it was clearly a distraction.

Security, in Delhi’s hands, has become a mask for suppression. Blood becomes evidence. Bodies become press briefings. And justice is nowhere in sight.

A Calculated Diversion from Pahalgam’s Unanswered Questions

As criticism intensified in the Indian Parliament over the Pahalgam attack, the regime desperately needed a new story to maneuver attention. Operation Mahadev was rolled out as a diversionary tactic timed and staged to perfection.

While questions were being asked in Delhi, bodies were falling in Srinagar.

This fake encounter was not about eliminating a threat, but about saving political skin. It was crisis management by way of military muscle, where the price of silence was paid in blood. The Indian state dodged answers by staging deaths.

Every life lost in Dachigam was a line erased from Pahalgam’s unanswered inquiry. The battlefield was used to wipe clean the embarrassment in Parliament.

India’s Long History of Staged Killings in IIOJK

The playbook is painfully familiar. Whenever India’s occupation narrative begins to fall apart, a new “operation” is launched. The details may change, but the formula remains constant: a terror attack, a quick blame on Pakistan, loud media coverage, and then a brutal crackdown in IIOJK.

From Pathankot to Pulwama, and now Dachigam, the same cycle continues. The objective is not justice; it is control through fear, spectacle, and silence.

Fake encounters are now part of India’s counterinsurgency doctrine.
The courts remain mute, the media stays complicit, and the military plays judge, jury, and executioner.

Operation Mahadev: A Media-Crafted Narrative of Lies

India’s mainstream media plays a dangerous role in legitimising these staged killings. Journalists parrot military statements without verification, while news anchors turn grief into primetime entertainment.

No investigative reporting, no critical questioning — just blind allegiance to the state’s version of events.

In a so-called democracy, media has transformed from the fourth pillar into the propaganda wing of the regime.

When reporters become repeaters, lies take root. When facts are buried, truth dies a silent death. Operation Mahadev was written in bullet points and broadcast without scrutiny.

Modi’s Regime: Power Through Fear, Not Justice

The Modi government’s reliance on force instead of dialogue has become a hallmark of its IIOJK strategy. Rather than address grievances, it eliminates voices. Rather than correct failures, it kills for headlines.

Operation Mahadev was not about defence; it was a show of strength aimed at domestic voters and international observers.

But this strength is hollow — built on insecurity, fear, and coercion.

When power hides behind rifles, democracy suffers. When truth is replaced with terror, the state loses its moral compass. Operation Mahadev exposes not might, but moral decay.

Institutional Silence, Public Cry

India’s judicial, parliamentary, and investigative bodies have chosen silence over scrutiny. No commission has been formed. No questions are raised about the absence of forensic proof.

Yet brave voices within India — journalists, human rights lawyers, ex-servicemen — continue to question the regime’s dangerous path.

P. Chidambaram’s recent remarks on the pattern of false flags and Pakistan-blaming are a rare spark of honesty in a climate of fear.

Justice cannot breathe in an atmosphere of silence. When institutions fail, impunity thrives. And each martyr becomes a question Delhi cannot answer.

Fake Encounters Cannot Silence a Nation’s Struggle

Despite brutal crackdowns, arbitrary detentions, and staged killings, the people of IIOJK remain unshaken in their demand for self-determination.

Every martyr in these fake encounters becomes a symbol of resistance, a reminder that occupation cannot erase identity.
Operation Mahadev have killed three youth, but it ignited a fire in every Kashmiri heart.

India can suppress a voice, but not the truth it carries. The BJP-led government can kill a youth, but not the movement they represent.

Each encounter strengthens the will of a people who have endured for decades.

Conclusion: A Crisis of Legitimacy

Operation Mahadev is not India’s fight against terrorism; it is a war on facts, a war on memory, and above all, a war on justice. This episode, like many before it, shows that the Indian regime is more interested in silencing critics than pursuing peace.

Pakistan, as always, calls for transparency and accountability. But the world must act. The cost of silence is measured in graves.

Fake encounters don’t bring stability. They sow hatred, despair, and global mistrust.

Until India stops using force as theatre, IIOJK will remain a battlefield of bodies, lies, and broken promises.
