BOLD DECISION
The government’s decision to hold Shri Amarnathji Yatra as per schedule under the present circumstances is a bold and much desirable decision because under no circumstances this significant Yatra should be deferred or even restricted. Of course the soft target killings is an attempt by the enemies of the nation to spread fear psychosis in the UT of J&K and reverse the success which the BJP Government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah has achieved in restoring peace and normalcy in J&K. It is the time that KP employees should stand shoulder to shoulder with the government and instead of planning to leave the Valley they should come up and vow to remain in their present places of residence as a matter of right, respect and uprightness because there are many other communities and segments of society which are living in Kashmir despite turmoil since 1990s. The government cannot afford another phase of migration from the Valley as this will complicate the situation and therefore it is significant for the KPs to show faith and spine during this time of crisis or else government won’t be able to do much in ensuring return of the entire community to the Valley as is promised by those sitting at helm. The government is clear in its strategy that it will not allow dislocation of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir. This is vital for all those who are standing along with India because repeat of ethnic cleansing in Valley will be the moral defeat of all the nationalists and therefore it is important that KPs should stand with courage and face the situation with valour. The government is resolute in the matter and is confident that the current killings would be stopped like they were in October last and sooner than later Valley will free from the scourge of terrorism as is promised by the Modi Government on many occasions. Under the current scenario, there is a need that the government should take into confidence the regional parties as well because local leadership can help by bridging the gap between the people and the centre.
