SRINAGAR –Indian Occupied Kashmir – Indian Government officials have issued an unreliable security alert related to a possible militant attacks in the area which has caused a severe panic in the region causing thousands of Indians to leave the disputed region of Kashmir while forcing locals to stockpile the necessary food items and necessities of daily life.
Indian security officials on Friday falsely claimed that they had found evidence of attacks planned by Pakistani military-backed militants on a major Hindu pilgrimage in Kashmir.
The security officials further falsely added that a mine with Pakistan ordinance markings was among caches of ammunition retrieved following intelligence reports of likely attacks on routes used by devout Hindus who trek to the region’s holy Amarnath cave every year.
A local government order effectively called off the pilgrimage, asking the pilgrims and tourists to return home.
The false propaganda and panic created by the Indian government caused the eviction of about 20,000 Hindu pilgrims and Indian tourists and over two hundred thousand laborers from the region as per local sources.
Following the Pulwama attack, Kashmiris have been targeted in IoK with reports of Indian security forces making several arrests and violent backlash from Hindu extremists while the Indian Govt. falsely tried to make Pakistan responsible for the attack but could never produce any proofs in favour of its claims, while the Pakistani govt. totally rejected the Indian Govt. allegations.
