Calling for dealing with such elements with an “iron hand,” he continued, “If we want to preserve and nurture the sovereignty of this nation, these elements should be dealt with an iron hand and a steely long-term resolve.”
He further called for a long-term solution to reduce militancy in the region, including education, economic opportunities, wealth, and welfare on all levels. For now, everyone should stand together as a nation.
“There are larger, long-term solutions- more equal distribution of education, economic opportunities, wealth and welfare on all levels. For now, it is of utmost importance for us to stand together as a nation, transcending all narrow divides of religion, caste, creed, or political affiliations, and to support our security forces at all levels as they perform their duties. Our deepest condolences & blessings to all bereaved & injured,” his post read.
Following the attack in the tourist area of Pahalgam, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached the area and was briefed by officials. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) team also visited the site to support the Jammu and Kashmir (J-K) Police in probing what is considered the deadliest assault on civilians in the region in almost twenty years.
The NIA team, led by a Deputy Inspector General-rank officer, visited Baisaran, a picturesque meadow located approximately five kilometres from Pahalgam town in Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
The incident occurred at around 3 pm (Tuesday) when terrorists came down from the mountain in Baisaran valley and started firing at the tourists who frequent the place, which is often dubbed ‘mini Switzerland’ because of its long, lush green meadows. (ANI)
