'Musalman Alag Ho Jao, Hindu Alag Ho Jao Bola Aur Hindu Ko Goli Mar Diya': Minor Narrates Father's Killing in Pahalgam (VIDEO)

Pahalgam: A heart-breaking video of a teen recounting the spine-chilling moments of the terrorist attack that killed 26 people, including his father Shailesh Kalthia in Jammu Kashmir's Pahalgam is making rounds on the internet.

Naksh Kalthia, son of Shailesh Kalthia, a native of Varachha area of ​​Surat city said speaking to news agency ANI, "We were at the 'mini Switzerland' point in Pahalgam, J&K.We heard gunshots... We hid once we realised that terrorists had entered the area. But, they found us. We saw two terrorists. I heard one of them ordered all the men to separate into Muslims and Hindus, and then shot all the Hindu men."

"Ek ne aa ke bola,Musalman alag ho jao aur Hindu alag ho jao, aur Hindu ke sare gents ko goli se mar diya," he said.

He further said, "The terrorists asked the men to recite 'Kalma' three times... All those who could not recite it were shot. Once the terrorists left, the locals came and said that all those who had survived should go downhill immediately."

"The army arrived after an hour, we climbed down from the point... The terrorists were not letting him (my father) speak at all...They did not say anything (to my mother)"

Describing the appearance of the terrorists he said, "One of the terrorists was fair and had a beard. He had a camera tied to his head...They spared the women and the children."

Sheetal Kalthia, wife of Shailesh who also witnessed her husband's killing said, "My husband's head was on my lap, and I could not do anything... I am surprised that despite the many tourists there (Baisaran meadow), a single army or police officer was not present in the area... We did not experience any Hindu-Muslim conflict in Kashmir... There is no such environment there. I feel it is only the Pakistanis who talk of the Hindu-Muslim divide to cause conflicts."


She further said, "The government should ensure adequate security in such places or not allow people to enter such danger zones... There was nothing there, no hospital, no security, no help."
