“It is our considered view that Government of India (GoI) should brace itself up to possible escalation in Pan Islamic terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir in the near future’, PK chairman Dr Ajay Chrungoo told reporters here.
He said that recent Hamas attack on Israel has the potential of galvanizing genocidal Jihadi terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Dr Ajay said that the recent terrorist attacks in Kashmir and Jammu have demonstrated that Jihadi terrorism is far from having been vanquished and has actually become far more sophisticated in its military expertise.
He further said that underplaying or undermining the terror threat will lead to grave implications.
“PK also wants to bring to the notice of the Government that the threat to Hindu civilians particularly in Kashmir and terrorist infested areas of Jammu is grave,” Chrungoo added.
He said that having keenly observed the ideological and strategic content of Jihad terrorism in the region of India and Pakistan PK wants to emphatically state that terrorists operating in this region have time and again shown no mercy for targeting civilians. In fact civilians have been the frontal target of terrorist blackmail.
He said that this fact makes the Hindus in Kashmir including the tourists from rest of India going there most vulnerable. Pan Islamic terrorism seeks to destroy local economies and will never be contained even by the Muslim public pressures for granting immunity to local economic activity.
It is time that a wishful approach is abandoned and the hard reality that unless terrorism is destroyed at all levels normalcy will continue to remain a mirage, he added.
Chrungoo, while reiterating homeland demand as only viable solution to reverse genocide of minority Hindus, said early the Government concedes this demand the better.
PK general secretary, Kuldeep Raina, senior leaders P L Koul Budgami, Raj Nath Raina, Satish Sher and M K Dhar were present in the press conference.
