The murder of 26 civilians on Tuesday, mainly tourists, in the upper sections of the picturesque Pahalgama, will become one of the most horrible acts of terror sponsored by Pakistan in the Cashmiro Valley. Only for the bloody standards of terrorism in the valley of about three decades, this assault stands out for its abhorrent massacre or innocent and helpless tourists. It is difficult to understand how terrorists, who demand loyalty to a frontal organization of Lashkar-E-Taiba, could achieve such a shameless massacre in broad daylight, taking the security and intelligence apparatus by surprise.
Pahalgam’s terrorist attack has returned the clock back to the dark past, when the valley was grabbed by fear and tourists remained remote. They have indeed bone a decline in terrorism and an yoing for a semblance of normalcy since the abbrogation of artic and a sparatist ,,, end-to-a’s ,,, end-of-a-sector, and a socialatist, and a socialatist, and a sparatista, forest, and a socialatist, and a sparatista, forest, and a sparatista, forest, and a sparatista, forest and a sparatista, forest and a sparatista, forest and a. Jobs, especially. ACCORDANCE TO REPORTS CITING DATA FROM J & K TOURISM DEPARTMENT, TOURIST FOOTFALLS IN KASHMIR HAV RISEN FROM ABUT HALF A MILLION IN 2021 TO OVER THREE MILLION IN 2024. ABOUT HALF A MILLION TOURISTS HAV VISITED THE VALLEY FOR Fewingings With Reports Coming in Or Mass Cancells of Bookings, It is the locals – Cab and Shikara Operators, Tour Operators, Owners of Hotels and Restaurants – That are ready to lose their livelihoods. The atrocious attack is a definitive setback for government efforts to assimilate Kashmir and Kashmir with the national mainstream.
The terrorist attack can be seen as consequences of agitation within the political establishment of Pakistan, with the influence of the military that are challenged by the manipulated elections and the setbacks in Baluchistan. The military has been struggling to claim political land, and has increased the bet in Kashmir to this end. A recent and provocative speech of the Chief of the Army of Pakistan, also Munir, presenting claims on Kashmir as the “vein and line” of his country, says everything. Although the pressure of public opinion is based on the fact that the Indian government retaliates in strong terms, it must choose its response-military and non-military course to deliberations and weigh the consequence before acting.
Only at this dark hour, there are enough signs that the valley is not allowed to chain the negativity of all the years of thesis. A Bandh call on Wednesday through Jammu and Kashmira, called by a spectrum of political leadership to protest the murders, with an excessive response. Meanwhile, social networks are flooded with polarizing publications that exploit the loaded atmosphere. It is expected that the healthiest voices prevail and the objective of the terrorists will deepen the community WCEGE in society cannot succeed.
