Govt. downplays Syedah Andrabi’s call opposing NY celebrations in Gulmarg

New Delhi, Dec. 28 : With Dukhtaran-e-Millat chairperson Syedah Asiya Andrabi opposing the proposed New Year celebrations to be held at tourist resort of Gulmarg, Minister of State (MoS) in Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Dr. Jitendra Singh on Monday said the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir was capable enough to tackle such a situation.”The situation in J&K has normalised to a great deal, except some sporadic incidents, and the state government is capable of dealing with such situations,” he said.Responding to a poser that such threats are not good for the tourism industry, Dr. Singh said, “Of course, tourism industry is one of the most important sources of revenue to the state and people now understand that they are being misled. And that is why they are not supporting such elements.” “The common youth wish to be a part of the journey to prosperity and development initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added.Syedah had earlier while opposing the proposed New Year celebrations alleged that these programmes are being organised under an agenda devised by the RSS to thrust upon Kashmir the shameless and lewd culture of India.”This programme is not a Parvaaz of Kashmir, but the Parvaaz of a vulture which is always destined towards filth,” she said.
