A day after the horrific Uri attack that killed 18 soldiers and injured around 30, a video of an Indian police constable reciting a poem chanting “Kashmir Toh Hoga, Pakistan Nahi Hoga (Kashmir will remain but Pakistan will not)” is doing the rounds on the internet.
In the video, a bus full of police personnel echoes “Pakistan nahi hoga” as Manoj Kumar, a Himachal Pradesh head constable carries on with the poem patriotically.
The poem was made popular by Sadhvi Balika Sarawati, a young Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader and is an open warning of violence if Pakistan continues to abet terror.
Kumar uploaded the video on ‘Kargil Day’ (26 July) but it went viral in the aftermath of the Uri terrorist attack.
The video is being shared by thousands of people on Facebook, WhatsApp and other social networking websites. While Kumar is posted at Kinnaur, his family members came to know about the video going viral from others.
The Indian government’s response to the attack, carried out by four Jaish-e-Mohammad militants has been strong. Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted those who were behind this “deplorable attack will not go unpunished.”
The weapons recovered from the four slain terrorists had Pakistani markings on them.
