Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, in his address said that the experience of Kashmir Sankalp Yatra this time was simply amazing. The people all over the country felt disappointed with the conspiracy makers to defame Jammu and the Hindu society in J&K in context of Kathua carnage. They expressed their anger against the forces who were bent upon to showcase the negative image of the Hindus in the country and abroad by building fake narrative. Instead general people, intellectuals and the regional media are extremely happy with the Panun Kashmir, Jammu Bar Association, Lawyers and the people of Kathua who struggled to bring forth the real picture of the carnage. The CBI demand for an impartial probe in the Kathua rape and murder case is not only justified but it has been endorsed by the Bar Council of India as well.
