New Delhi: Giving a befitting reply to an online troll, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today asserted that all Kashmiris were not terrorists and stated it was his job to ensure and tranquility in the country. His response came after an editor of a leading travel portal questioned on his comment that the Kashmiris had strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims. In her reply to the home minister, she used a derogatory word and mentioned that no one cared about whether Kashmiriyat was alive or not in Jammu and Kashmir but needed strong action from him against the terrorists responsible for attack.
Mr Singh then replied back, “Ms Kalra I certainly do. It is absolutely my job to ensure peace and tranquility in all parts of the country. All Kashmiris are not terrorists.” However, soon the editor deleted her twitter account. In the morning, the minister said he saluted the people of Jammu and Kashmir who had condemned the attack on Amarnath pilgrims and kept the spirit of Kashmiriyat alive.
The attack on Amarnath pilgrims in which seven people were killed was a “cowardly act of terror” but it was heartening to see the whole nation stand united against terrorism, he added. The home minister also reviewed the security situation in the state and ordered enhanced security for pilgrims visiting Amarnath cave shrine. (UNI)
