Killing Of Kashmiri Pandit Worried Home Minister Amit Shah


Killing Of Kashmiri Pandit By Militants Shocked The Kashmir Valley

After months of calmness in the valley, militant activities again started taking shape in Kashmir valley. Recently, a person, Sunil Kumar, belonging to the Kashmiri Pandit community was shot dead, and another was injured by the militants while working in an orchard.  The targeted killing of Kashmiri Pandits once again sent shocking waves among the members of the minority community in the valley. According to police, some unidentified militants fired upon the two Kashmiri Pandit men, Sunil Kumar and Pitambar Nath Pandit, when they were working in their apple orchard in the Chotipora area of Shopian.  Condemning the death of Kashmiri Pandits, the AIMIM chief targeted the central government, citing, "The LG appointed by the BJP has been unsuccessful. 370 was removed because it would benefit Kashmiri Pandits, and there would be peace. Kashmiri Pandits returned after years of hard work, but they have remained insecure. Now Kashmiri Pandits are trying to leave the valley. This is another example of the failure of the Modi government. The entire responsibility for the killing of Kashmiri Pandit lies with the BJP and its governing structure. They are proving unsuccessful in protecting the lives of Kashmiri Pandits. The answer should be given by the country's PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah". Meanwhile, LG Manoj Sinha has expressed grief over the attack in Shopian and announced to take all necessary steps to counter militancy in the region. Meanwhile, Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the security situation in Kashmir valley. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1559451357962436608
