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...
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.
