Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday hailed the people of Kashmir for their unequivocal condemnation of the attack that left seven Amarnath pilgrims dead in Anantnag district.

“Every section of the society in Kashmir has condemned the unfortunate cowardice act of terror on the Amarnath pilgrims. I salute the people of the state,” Rajnath Singh said here.

“Pained at the loss of lives of #AmarnathYatra pilgrims, want to salute people of Kashmir that all sections of the society condemned it,” he tweeted.

The people of Kashmir have strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath yatris. It shows the spirit of Kashmiriyat is very much alive.

Rajnath’s comments came after he chaired a high-level security meeting with top government officials, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

“No one in Kashmir has praised the terror attack, this proves that Kashmiriyat is still alive there. This also boosts my morale to fight against such forces,” he said.
