Magam (Kashmir) Feb 21: Minister for Agriculture Ghulam Hassan Mir today reportedly made an objectionable gesture towards journalists after he was asked to respond to allegations of fleecing of tourists at the resorts falling in his assembly constituency.
"What you have got to do with this (fleecing of tourists)? Let me see how your story affects me!," Mir said as he waved his middle finger at the scribes.
The journalists had asked the minister, who represents Gulmarg assembly constituency, to respond to allegations that tourists were being charged exorbitant prices for petty services at Tangmarg and Gulmarg resorts.
A group of tourists, returning from Gulmarg approached the reporters, who were covering a function where the minister was scheduled to arrive, with their complaints.
They alleged that they were charged Rs500 as daily rent for a jacket Rs200 for snow-shoes and Rs100 for sun-glasses.
