After the Pahalgam attack, the central government has said that every effort will be made to cause minimum damage to tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that some people with nefarious intentions are trying to incite separatism and terrorism again in the valley. He and his office are in “frequent contact” with the Chief Secretary and Tourism Secretary of the Union Territory and are monitoring the situation. During the meeting of the Central Archaeological Advisory Board (CABA), he told reporters that they are taking all possible measures to reduce the impact of tourism attack. Condemning the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Shekhawat said that India will not tolerate terrorism.
Prime Minister Modi’s stance against terrorism is clear: Shekhawat
He said, “The country is unhappy with this cowardly incident. PM Modi decided to cancel his foreign trip and return to home and Home Minister Shah decided to reach Srinagar. His stance on this attack clearly reflects his attitude of zero tolerance towards terrorism.”
“The person responsible for the attack should be punished severely”
Shekhawat said, “As the two leaders (Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah) have said, it will be ensured that all the people responsible for the attack get strict punishment. Earlier, through surgical strikes and air strikes, India has given a message to the world whether anti -India activities, whether they are from Indian earth or outside the country, India will no longer tolerate them.”
