The police have detained more than 25 people in the case of dispute over the Ashoka Pillar in Shilapat at Hazratbal Dargah in Srinagar. Officials said on Sunday (07 September) that more than two dozen people have been detained for questioning in connection with the sabotage with Ashoka Icon at Hazratbal Dargah. This action has been taken after examining CCTV footage.

Officials said that more than 25 people have been detained by the police after investigating the video and CCTV footage of the incident after Friday prayers. A senior police officer said, “No one has been formally arrested yet, but some people are being questioned.”

Controversy erupted after sabotage of Ashoka sign plaque

In Kashmir on Friday (September 05), there was a big controversy in the Hazratbal Dargah after sabotage with a plaque with Ashoka sign. Political parties accused Waqf Board chief Darkhshan Andrabi accused of hurting religious sentiments using the national mark in the mosque and demanded a criminal case against them and immediately removing them.

Waqf Board should apologize for mistake- Omar Abdullah

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah insisted, “I have never seen the use of insignia in this way at any religious place. Mosques, dargahs, temples and gurudwaras are not government institutions. The Waqf Board should apologize for this mistake. The national mark is for government work, not for religious institutions. ”

While parties like the National Conference, PDP and CPI (M) described the use of Ashoka sign in the mosque as provocative and blasphemous, the BJP strongly condemned the damaged plaque and claimed that the incident is an attempt to rewrite terrorism and separatism in the valley.

National Conference condemns the incident

The National Conference has condemned the violence and not only apologized to the chairman of the Waqf Board, but also to remove them from the post. NC MLA and Chief Spokesperson Tanveer Sadiq said, “We will write a letter to the Speaker of the Assembly demanding to set up a committee to investigate the misappropriation of Waqf’s financial and properties during the last five years.”

Case filed against unknown people

The plaque was placed inside the Hazratbal Dargah on Thursday, where a relic of Prophet Muhammad is kept, causing resentment among the devotees. He said that keeping any shape or symbol inside the mosque is against the Islamic principle of monotheism. After Friday prayers, unknown people broke the plaque and removed, after which the police registered a case against unknown people.

The dispute increased further when the Andrabi, appointed by the BJP, demanded legal action, including prosecution of the accused under the rigorous Public Safety Act (PSA) to break the insignia.

Waqf Board played with people’s feelings- CM

CM Abdullah condemned Andrabi’s response, saying, “The board played with people’s feelings and is now threatening. The Chief Minister said, “First, at least they should have apologized for this. They should accept their mistake. It should not have happened.”

PDP demands to file a case of blasphemy

PDP President Mehbooba Mufti has demanded a case of blasphemy under section 295-A against Dr. Darkshan Andrabi and Waqf officials. The same CPI general secretary Mohammad Yusuf Tarigami, while supporting the removal of the Waqf president, termed the people’s religious condolences to install the Ashoka mark inside the dargah.

The BJP’s Sithanya unit is in support of Darkhshan Andrabi, but due to religious sentiments, many BJP leaders have also stood in protest. Now after people are taken into custody, there are chances of catching the case more.

CM Omar Abdullah said that if the Jhelum river and its connected drains were cleaned, the situation would have been different today.

Nyt on pahalgam terror attack: The New York Times has once again come into controversy over the reporting of painful terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. 26 innocent tourists were killed in this attack, after which the Government of India and security experts clearly termed it as a terrorist attack, but the New York Times described it in its report as “militant attacks, which led to disagreement by the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the lower house of the US Congress.

The committee publicly shared a picture on the social media platform ‘X’, in which the word “militant” was cut and “terrorist” was instead. The committee leader wrote, “New York Times, we have fixed it for you. It was a terrorist attack. When it comes to India or Israel, your attitude deviates from reality.”

India will take action against the culprits

India held a high -level security review meeting soon after this attack, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi clearly called a terrorist attack and promised that strict action would be taken against the culprits. In the briefing given to the cabinet committee, it was revealed that Pakistan was behind the attack. This attack has been considered a conspiracy to derail the peaceful elections in Kashmir and the progress being made towards development. The Government of India has submitted evidence against organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba to Pakistan many times before, but no cooperation was found.

Hey, @nytimes We fixed it for you. This was a terrorist attack plain and simple.

Difference between extremism and terrorism

Extremism and terrorism are two different concepts, which need to be clearly understood. Extremism can be a form of disagreement and armed opposition within a nation, which demands political change. Whereas in terrorism, through a well planned violence, a nation is to destabilize and create fear in the general public. This may be associated with support and global agendas from border.

NCP founder Sharad Pawar’s response has come to light on the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Condemning the attack, he said that to completely eliminate the misdeeds of the terrorists and take drastic steps for the security of the country is the biggest need of today.

Sharad Pawar met the relatives of the deceased

On Thursday (April 24), Sharad Pawar went to the house of Santosh Jagdale and Kaustubh Ganbote, a resident of Pune, who was killed in a terrorist attack. He saw the body of both and consoled the families.

‘Need to take drastic steps to destroy terrorist acts’

In his post, he further wrote, “Innocent tourists from all over the country become a victim of such cowardly attacks, this is going to hurt the heart. This is the biggest need of today.

On 22 April, six people from Maharashtra lost their lives in the terrorist attack of Pahalgam. There is a wave of mourning after this attack across the country. At the same time, people are demanding from the government against the terrorists and those who sheltered them that strict steps should be taken. Eyewitnesses said that the terrorists shot people by asking religion.

Jammu kashmir terrorist economy: Indian tourists were attacked in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 innocents died. This terrorist incident has shocked the entire country. The economy of Kashmir rests on these tourists to a large extent. In such a situation, the kind of terrorists who have done cowardly acts, have forced them to think that now there is a need to take some more stringent steps to eradicate it.

The Government of India is churning on the Pahalgam case. There are strong demands to answer from the country. In the midst of all this, the question arises that from where does the money come from those who are coming in Kashmir? Who gives them money and some kind of network and economy?

How big an economy of the Sapole terrorist?

In fact, there are many types of Pakistani terrorists active in Kashmir, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, TRS. He not only has full support of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI but these terrorist organizations are involved in the drug business. They supply opium, heroin-charas and all other types of drugs and plot against India with the money from it.

These terrorists have also been involved in fake currency business earlier. There are many organizations in Pakistan for this supporting terrorists that not only collect money in the name of a charitable organization, but also raise them in the mind against India by provoking the innocent and unemployed youth of Kashmir. They take these innocent youth to the border and when their brain is completely washed, after that they use them against India by making them fidelines.

Recovery business

Not only this, there is a business in the economy of these terrorists and that is of recovery. Apart from this, there are also some other countries of Pakistan which support these terrorists and fund them. They are sent money through hawala network. However, it is not that the Government of India is unaware of all these things.

From time to time, the government keeps taking action to break their economic back. In such a situation, there is a need to take more stringent steps so that the activities of these terrorists can be completely braked. Otherwise, in the same way, the blood of innocent people will be shed inside India.

Pahalgam Attack: After the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, thousands of tourists are now dreamed of visiting Kashmir in summer. Since the attack, the concern about security about the valley has increased once again.

According to tour operators, the cancellation request of Kashmir Trip has increased by about 25 percent in just 24 hours. The fear among the people is such that they are now turning to places to be considered safe like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

What did the tour operators say?

Rajiv Mehra, president of the Indian Association of Tour Operators, while talking to NDTV, said that bookings for Kashmir are getting faster. At the same time, PP Khanna, head of the organization of domestic tour operators, said that about 30-40 percent of the tourists going to Srinagar and Gulmarg are now demanding to change their destination. However, it is a matter of relief that at this time airlines and hotels are giving full refunds, due to which people are not having much difficulty in avoiding travel or changing the destination.

Tourism was on peak in Kashmir

In the last few years, Kashmir Tourism had made a tremendous comeback by exiting Article 370 and exiting Kovid. In 2024, 2.35 crore tourists came to Jammu and Kashmir, which was more than last year. Hotels, houseboats and guest houses were fully booked and during April-May, the flight bookings of Srinagar were seen to have an increase of up to 50-100 per cent. But now it seems to be watering on the entire tourism sector.

Foreign tourists will also shy away

Currently, foreign tourists are less in summer, but experts believe that this attack will definitely affect the winter season (October to March). Foreign tourists are usually more cautious and such incidents can prevent them from traveling.

No cancellation charge be charged

The government has taken steps immediately in view of the situation. The Aviation Ministry has asked the airlines to run additional flights from Srinagar and no tourist should be charged with cancellation charge. Four special flights are being run for Delhi and Mumbai and more flights will be on standby if needed. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu gave strict instructions by meeting with the airlines that the price of tickets should not be increased and there should be no additional burden on the passengers.

However, the ground reality is slightly different. According to some travel websites, there was no flight available from Srinagar to Delhi on the website of Air India and IndiGo. At the same time, the price of flight on sites like Makemytrip was going above 14,000, which was also double from the flight of Delhi from Dubai on the same day.
