“This is a direct attack on the Indian State which left the entire nation is in a shock. A Pakistani terrorist organisation has claimed responsibility. We must give a befitting response. We are all one and we will fight. There should not be claims without doing or without properly managing (the situation in Kashmir) and finger-pointing,” he stated.”We also expect the government to hold discussions with all political parties to address the challenge of terrorism in a spirit of consensus once the necessary actions have been taken and full information has been obtained. They should call an All-Party meeting and take some advice. This is not politics, and we don’t want politics in this situation,” he advised.”Congress Party is committed to coordination and cooperation with the government to eliminate terrorism from its roots. We have consistently confronted terrorism and separatism, and our top leadership has even sacrificed their lives in this fight,” he stated.The government must do everything possible to maintain tourists’ confidence in the security arrangements of Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the Amarnath Yatra which is about to begin in a few days as every year, lakhs of tourists take part in it, he suggested.”Earlier there have been such attacks in the Yatra also. So the Yatris should be protected well and security should be tightened,” he cautioned.”The summer season has just begun, and this is the time when tourists start visiting the region. Tourism is also the biggest source of income for Jammu and Kashmir’s economy and its people. People of Kashmir depend only on tourism. So, this year’s economy has collapsed. The Government of India should help them now. At this moment, we are all one. We will be one against the terrorists,” he stated.
