Govt not dealing with Kashmir issue with iron hand: VHP

MUMBAI: Condemning the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) today said the incident shows that the Government was not dealing with the Kashmir issue with an iron hand.

The right-wing Hindu organisation also said that over 10,000 VHP and Bajrang Dal activists would soon gather in the terror-affected regions of Kashmir to boost the Army’s morale.

“Our country has been turned into a war zone by the extremists and jihadis, who carry out attacks on a daily basis. Time has come now for the country to launch an all-out combat operation in Kashmir and eliminate jihadis, who kill innocent people in dastardly attacks,” Shankarrao Gaikar, the VHP’s Konkan region chief said in a press conference here.
