Neha Singh Rathore

Bhojpuri singer Neha Singh Rathore was booked on sedition charges for her post after the Pahalgam terror attack. After the horrifying incident, Neha put out a post in which she allegedly attacked the ruling government, saying the Pahalgam incident happened because of the intelligence and security failure on the part of the ruling dispensation.

The case was filed after a Pakistani X handle reported her video in which she claimed that PM Modi will now seek votes in Bihar in the name of the Pahalgam attack, similar to what he did in 2019 after the Pulwama attack, which claimed the lives of 40 CRPF jawans.

Now, as per reports, the FIR registered against Neha claims that her "anti-national" statements are going viral in Pakistan and that she is getting praise from the neighbouring country for attacking the Modi government. "All these anti-national statements of Neha Singh Rathore are being used against India in the Pakistani media," it added.

"What should I question the government about? Issues of education and health are no longer relevant. People are being killed despite the politics of nationalism, and Hindu-Muslim politics is at its peak in the country," Neha said in her video message and later went on to attack PM Modi, adding, "Should I question Mohammad Ali Jinnah?"

Later in the video, she accused Modi of seeking votes in the name of the Pahalgam horror, "just like after the Pulwama attack."

About the Pahalgam terror attack

The deadly terror attack on the tourists claimed at least 26 lives including a local, who fought the terrorists, and tried to snatch their gun, when he was shot at. The terrorist segregated the tourists based on their faith, and shot them after finding out their religion.

The terrorist outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the attack. TRF is an off-shoot of the Pakistan based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and came into existence following the historic abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, which granted a special status to the Indian state, which is now a union territory.

According to reports, two to three terrorists wearing army fatigues opened fire on horse-riding tourists in the Baisaran area around 2:30 p.m.

Five terrorists - including three Pakistani nationals and two residents of Jammu and Kashmir - have been identified as the perpetrators of the horrific attack, which is being described as the worst terror strike to hit the region in nearly two decades.
