'Go Tell This To Modi', Attacker Told Survivor

The survivors shared their ordeal, recounting the horror experiences. One of the survivors told the media that terrorists mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi after killing her husband. Pallavi, who lost her husband Manjunath revealed that both she and her 18-year-old son confronted the terrorist and pleaded to be killed alongside Manjunath. However, the terrorist reportedly told her that he would not kill her so that she could tell PM Modi about the attack.

Speaking to media, Pallavi said, "We are in Pahalgam, and my husband died right in front of me. I couldn't cry or react -- I couldn't even comprehend what had just happened. I had come here with my husband Manjunath and our son Abhijeya from Karnataka's Shivamogga."

"I was accompanied by my car driver, who is a good person. He told me that Hindus were being targeted. Three others, who kept saying "˜Bismillah', helped us get to safety. I want my husband's body to be airlifted. All three of us should return together," she added.

"I noticed that there were three to four attackers. After my husband was killed, I faced one of the terrorists and said, 'Mere pati ko mara hai na, mujhe bhi maaro' (You've killed my husband, kill me too). My son also confronted him and said, 'Kutte, mere papa ko maara, humein bhi maar daalo' (You dog, you killed my father, kill us too)," she recounted.
