Sending back Yatris, NIT students is a big thing. If no action is taken even after this, then BJP is being a psychopath
Except of rapid replacement of CAPF troops who have been there since feb(for elections and Yatra security cover) and responding to security threat, what exactly did BJP do?

If govt does nothing and something happens, you will shouting from rooftops “BJP can’t even protect hindu pilgrims”

Everything else can be attributed to rumours, especially in an area where local politicians thrive on spreading rumours to keep their control over their constituents and keep themselves relevant.

UK issues Travel Advisory for its Citizen travelling to Kashmir

There is a risk of unpredictable violence including bombings, grenade attacks, shootings and kidnapping.
The long-standing policy of the British Government is not to make substantive concessions to hostage takers.

Well.

Government in essence is evacuating all non-kashmiri civvies from JK, when was this normal? Didn't happen even during peak of post-balakot crisis...

Making Yatris return all of a sudden without giving any reason is just responding to threats? Isn't it something everyone anticipated to have threats for Yatris? Didn't India already send in several thousand soldiers to protect Yatris? Why didn't India ask the Yatris to not attend at all in the first place if there was threat?

Sending back students from NIT is another big issue. What security threat in a closed campus? This point becomes more crucial as there never has been a situation where NIT had to be evacuated.

Like I said a few months back on this thread, there is a new normal post balakot strikes. We are in unchartered territory here....

Frankly I would prefer govt err on the side of caution...

And let’s not forget there is a historical context too...

Check the years below.
1930’s coincides with years around direct action day

1946 coincides with partition and violence that followed.

1990’s coincide with years around Babri masjid issue

2000’s coincides with Gujarat riots

And the present coinciding with “Dara hua musalman” and “mob lynching” narratives.
==========
Nothing new. Amarnath Yatra was attacked and pilgrims were killed in 1990 1994 1995 1996 2000 2001 2002 2017

It was attacked in 1931 1932 1933 1934 and 1946 when the route to Yatra was through Rawalpindi

Neither we targeted civilians nor we used cluster ammunition.We targeted something else,we used something else.If few civilians casualties r there,it is because of coward Pak Army because they install their artillery & mortar positions in civilians area 2 save themselves from IA.

In the next border meeting between IA and pak army, I will ask our chaps to ask for a month’s advance notice from paki side before they conduct any future terror attack.

What’s your opinion, a month’s notice will do or should we ask for atleast two month’s notice on upcoming terror attacks? We have to make arrangements for welcoming party and all...
