Attack details
Bachchan detailed the Pahalgam attack in his blog
Vividly detailing the Pahalgam attack, Bachchan recounted the tragic fate of an innocent couple on vacation.
He wrote, "The innocent couple on a vacation holiday in Pahalgam, was attacked by terrorists posing as tourist guides."
"They pulled them out in the open, asked the husband to pull his pants down, and when he saw that he was not circumcised...he told him to recite the Kalma...when the man, a Hindu, did not know, he set up to shoot him."
Emotional impact
Bachchan empathized with the victims' widows
Bachchan wrote, "Feeling immensely for the unspeakable grief of the widow, her mental state and her absolute destruction."
"And this I built...the wife went to Modi and said: this is the line from that poem... Hai chita ki raakh kar main maangti, sindoor duniya (the ashes of the funeral pyre are in my hands and the world is asking for sindoor)."
Operation Sindoor
Bachchan praised Modi's 'Operation Sindoor' in response to attack
Bachchan lauded PM Modi and added, "So...the government, who have been telling the neighboring authorities to stop terrorist camps and activities...has never been heeded."
"Hence, Modi and the government decided to respond to the terrorist base camps in the neighbors and launched a military procedure...the results of which are well known...9 terrorist camps and outfits were destroyed."
"Brilliant thought .. two personnel from the Indian Army were chosen to give a title to the Operation...they were two women officers."
Final words

Ending his blog post with a call to the Indian Army and citizens, Bachchan quoted lines from his father's poem Agnipath.
He wrote, "You shall never stop...you shall never turn back...you shall never bend... Path of Fire! Path of Fire! Path of Fire!!"
"And I chose to select words from it: as an inspiration and a demand to the Army and all Indians .. to continue the fight !! Against the injustice done to us and in particular the innocent."
