Singh who himself was Tourism Minister in early 70’s and took over after the great disaster where hundreds Sadhus and pilgrims died during holy yatra because of unprecedented rains and snow in the area Amarnath condemned the dubious role of some responsible people who had been and are running the state Govt. an d are issuing most irresponsible statements and are bent upon to destroy the communal harmony and peaceful atmosphere of the state during the peak tourist season, Singh said he vividly remembered how he used to get cooperation as a Minister tourism during Holy yatra from the Muslim of valley right from start of yatra from Dashnami Akahara, Srinagar via Anantnag District to the Holy cave and the way theyatris used to get the receptions from Muslim, Pandits, Local Nambardars, Zaildars, leading people, and entire local administration.
