Jammu, July 18, (Scoop News)-J&K State VHP BJP and others expressed their deepest anguish over the reported incidence of violence against the Langarwalas at Baltal by the local miscreants including Poneywalas.
Addressing to Reporters today VHP Patron and President, Dr. Ramakant Dubey & Leela Karan Sharma said that as the reports are coming these miscreants have burnt down 3 Langars, broke & looted the provisions including on whatever they could put on their hands of the remaining Langars at Baltal. Report has also come that this incidence has sparked up to Sonamarg & there is every chance of spreading over the other areas of valley if Government has not taken the appropriate steps.
They said it has also been learnt that the Government has stop the Yatra on various points. The situation has created a fear psychosis among the Langarwalas including thousands of Yatries who are coming & going through this route. The violence as reported will certainly affect the Yatra with imminent reprecursions from the entire nation. It seems it has become a habit of these anti-Hindu people to create some type of trouble every year with the sole aim of to discourage Yatries/Yatra. Dr. Dubey & Sharma urged upon the administration to immediately arrest the trouble shooters & file F.I.R. against them so that, nobody could dare to take law in his hands. It will certainly sent a bad message in the country & the Jammu-Kashmir administration will be wholly responsible in case reprecursions of this violence takes place in the any part o the country. The Government is fully bent to reduce the Yatra by encouraging these separatist & bad elements.
Dr. Dubey & Leela Karan Sharma warned the Government & Shrine Board to immediately control the situation & arrest the miscreants. Full compensation for the losses incurred due to the damage of the Langars & the Government should ensure that full safety of the yatries should be made. VHP shall sending a delegation to Baltal & the areas involved & after assessing can call “Jammu Bandh” & even can appeal the centre for “Bharat Bandh” call.
Hem Raj Khajuria working President, Dr. Sham Lal Gupta General Secretary & B.K. Gupta Office Secretary were also present in the press conference.
Adv. Chander Mohan Sharma, National Co-Convener of Jammu and Kashmir Cell of BJP has asked the State Government to provide immediately adequate security to the Amarnath Yatris. The ugly incident today wherein Amarnath Yatris were attacked at Kangan and Baltal by the agitating mob which has rendered dozens of yatris of seriously injured and also some of CRPF personnel were also injured. This incident should serve as eye-opener for the government who is claiming of providing foolproof security for the yatris. This incident is not only provoked by anti-national utterances of Ali Shah Geelani but also due to slackness on the part of administration.
Sharma warned the state government that immediate take action against such mischief mangors otherwise such incident in future will not be tolerated. The government should immediately provide full compensation to the langer committees and others who have suffered huge loss on account of attack by local mob. The tragic part of the incident is that local police remained silent spectator. The incident require thorough probe by an independent agency to find out the truth as there is every possibility of some conspiracy to disrupt yatra.
Amarnath Yatra is not just a pilgrimage but an annual event of national importance which brings people from all section of society from across the country together besides providing employment to the local people for two months. It is also a symbol of communal harmony and promotes brotherhood and tolerance, he said and added that the Governor should also intervene and ensure that such incidents do not repeat in future.
Shri Ram Sena, Jammu and Kashmir today condemned the attacks on Amarnath Yatra at Baltal in Kashmir Valley.
State President, Shri Ram Sena, Rajiv Mahajan said that it is a deliberate attempt by the miscreants to disturb the Amarnath Yatra.
