Fact Check: Farooq Abdullah's “Pakistan did not wear bangles”

New Delhi (Vishwas News). A video clip of former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Farooq Abdullah is going viral amidst all-round condemnation of terror attacks in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which they can be seen saying and hearing that “Pakistan is not wearing bangles and they also have a atomic bomb.” The viral video clip is being shared on different platforms of social media since the Pahalgam attack, which seems that Abdullah’s statement is after the terror attack.

Vishwas News found the claim misleading in his investigation. The viral statement has no relation with the Pahalgam terror attack, but his statement is from last year, when he reacted to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement “PoK’s merger will be merged into India”, saying that “Pakistan is not wearing bangles” and it also has a nuclear bomb, which will unfortunately fall on us before. This old statement is being shared with a misleading claim in the context of the recent Pahalgam terror attack.

Scrutiny

Based on the viral video clip, we received many old reports in Ke-Word Search, which mentions this statement of Farooq Abdullah.

NDTV.com’s 6 May 2024 “Pakistan Not Wearing Bangles”: Farooq Abdullah’s Controversial Comment ” Report According to, “Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s comment,” PoK will merge with India, “Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah said on Sunday that Pakistan has not worn bangles and also has a atomic bomb, which will fall on us.”

Other news reports mention Abdullah’s statement in a similar context.

Business Today’s 6 May 2024 Report According to, “Rajnath Singh said in an interview to news agency PTI on Sunday that India will not forcefully occupy PoK, because the people there would like to be a part of India themselves.”

Reacting to this statement, Abdullah had said, “If the Defense Minister is saying so, we should move forward. We are going to stop? But remember, they (Pakistan) are not even wearing bangles. They have atomic bombs and unfortunately, that atomic bomb will fall on us.”

It is clear from our investigation that this statement of Abdullah is not related to the Pahalgam attack. We received a report till date in the news search, which mentions Farooq Abdullah being emotional while talking about the Pahalgam terror attack.

In the video report, he can be heard in strong terms condemning the terrorist attack and shaking Pakistan.

According to the report, “Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah discussed the terrorist attack. He emphasized the need for national unity and criticized the dual control system in Kashmir’s security matters … became emotional while answering.”

We contacted our colleague Dainik Jagran’s Kashmir correspondent Naveen Nawaz about the viral video. He confirmed, “This video is long before the Pahalgam attack.”

More than one lakh people follow the user who shares the viral video on Facebook. News Report According to, a total of 26 people have been killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, including two foreign nationals. The fact check report of other fake and misleading claims related to Pahalgam terror attack can be read on the website of Vishwas News.

Conclusion: Farooq Abdullah’s statement of “Pakistan did not wear bangles” is not after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. His statement is almost year old when he said so, reacting to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement to PoK’s merger in India.

Let us tell you that former Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah, while strongly condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam, appealed to maximum number of tourists to come to Kashmir, so that Pakistan could be given a befitting reply. Abdullah started crying while talking about this attack on a news channel.
