JAMMU, Oct 31: Voicing concern over the different incidents of communalism in the sensitive areas of Zanskar in Kargil as also in Kishtwar and that of the Valley over the issue of widening the route for facility of the pilgrims to Swami Amarnath, the former Union Minister and MLA, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta observed that these are not without meaning but part of a bigger design of the operators of proxy war launched from across the border for over two decades now.
Commenting upon the reports about the happenings in the far off Zanskar and also in Kishtwar and other places, Prof. Gupta said these could be a precursor to the bigger plans to disturb the peace and tranquility as had been going on in the past too, before stepping up cross border terror and other violence. But the situation demanded a tactful handling of the situation thus created in fair and judicious manner especially keeping a close watch over the handlers at the different levels.
He said that elements raising anti national slogans by exploiting such incidents should be identified and taken to task making it clear that there was no scope for allowing such utterances.
Prof. Gupta said that the raising of such slogans are meant to keep the sentiments active that there is still a scope for secessionism which should not be tolerated.
He also pleaded for firmness in dealing with other secessionist and separatist moves.
