News India Live, Digital Desk: Jammu & Kashmir has been in the headlines again for some time. The sudden increase in terrorist activities has created an atmosphere of fear in the valley. But amid all this, a question arises again and again, when a terrorist attack takes place, do the common, innocent people have to pay the price through their notoriety?
Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir on this issue Omar Abdullah Has given a very serious and strong statement. His pain was clearly visible while speaking in the assembly. What he said is the voice of every citizen of the valley who wants peace, but is viewed with suspicion.
“Only a few people are responsible, but everyone is being defamed”
Omar Abdullah clearly said that a handful of people are responsible for the terrorist attacks. But the unfortunate thing is that the atmosphere is being created as if the entire Kashmiri society is wrong. He said, “It seems as if a stage has been set up, the sole purpose of which is to defame all Kashmiris on the pretext of the actions of a few.”
His indication was clear that whenever any incident happens, such a narrative is run on the media and social media, which sends the message that the common people of Kashmir are also with the terrorists. Whereas according to the CM, the reality is far away from this.
Government responsibility and public safety
The Chief Minister also believed that it is the responsibility of the government to make the people feel safe. He said that we stand against terrorism, but no innocent person should be harassed in the name of fighting terrorism.
echo in the house
When Omar Abdullah said these things, there was silence in the assembly. He made these points during the motion of thanks on the address of the Lieutenant Governor (LG). He also said that those who think that after the new government comes, they will weaken the government through terrorist attacks, they are mistaken.
our perspective
This statement of Omar Abdullah is not just politics, it is also a social issue. Terrorism has no religion or region. A few misguided people should not be punished for the millions of Kashmiris who send their children to school, run shops and want to live in peace.
At present, the challenges in the valley are huge, and the biggest test for Omar Abdullah will be to win the trust of his people and maintain peace.
