'Yeh kaisi ladai hai...': Mohammed Siraj wants terrorists to be punished without mercy

New Delhi: Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has joined the growing chorus of voices from the sporting world expressing sorrow and outrage over the barbaric terrorist attack that occurred on April 22 in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
The attack, which claimed the lives of at least 28 people and injured over 20 others, has been described as one of the deadliest in the region since the 2019 Pulwama bombing.

Taking to Instagram, Siraj penned a powerful and emotional message condemning the brutality:
“Just read about the horrific and shocking terrorist attack in Pahalgam. To target and kill innocent civilians in the name of religion is pure evil...

"No cause, no belief, no ideology can ever justify such a monstrous act. Yeh kaisi ladai hai... jahaan insaan ki jaan ki koi keemat hi nahi...

"I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and trauma the families must be going through.
"May the families find the strength to survive this unbearable grief. We are so sorry for your loss.
Who's that IPL player?
"I hope this madness ends soon and these terrorists are found and punished, without mercy.”
Siraj’s words resonated with many fans and fellow players, who echoed his sentiments in the comments, lauding the cricketer for speaking up against such senseless violence.

The attack has sparked a major security response in the region. The Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and central agencies have launched an intensive manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators. Meanwhile, national leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have vowed that those responsible will be brought to justice.
As the nation mourns yet another tragedy, Siraj’s message stands as a reminder that in times of darkness, voices of compassion, unity, and courage must ring louder than ever.
