Kashmiriyat still alive, I salute it : Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the people of Kashmir for their unequivocal condemnation of the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims in the state’s Anantnag district. When a Twitter user attacked the Minister saying no one cared about “Kashmiriyat” at the moment, he stressed that “all Kashmiris are not terrorists”.

“Every section of the society in Kashmir has condemned the unfortunate cowardly act of terror on the Amarnath pilgrims. I salute the people of the state,” Rajnath Singh said after chairing a high-level security meeting with top government officials, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

“No one in Kashmir has praised the terror attack, this proves that Kashmiriyat is still alive there. This also boosts my morale to fight against such forces,” he said. His tweet: “The people of Kashmir have strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath yatris. It shows the spirit of Kashmiriyat is very much alive”.

Seven people were killed and 19 others were injured when terrorists opened fire at a bus in Jammu and Kashmir’s Khanabal area on the Jammu-Srinagar highway on Monday evening. The state police has blamed the LeT terror group for the attack.
