Jammu , June 13 : Amarnath Shrine Board in its propaganda approach to establish that yatra couldn't start before June 25, as announced by it, has taken a cue from Nazi's propaganda minister Goebbels, who established the theory that even if a lie is told hundred times, some people will take it as truth.
The Jewish propaganda minister was instrumental in releasing fabricated and heroic picture of German army to raise the moral of the people, at a time when Germans were facing defeat.
The Board, truly knowing that it can win logical war, is using propaganda of releasing morphed and doctored pictures to show that since there is heavy snowfall and the yatra can't be taken.
The recent media reports have highlighted this fact that how these pictures were doctored.
Now, that it has been caught on the wrong foot it has decided to keep mum and not issue any reaction. This silence on part of the Board itself reflects the fact that it is knowledge of the facts that on entering into public debate about the veracity of the pictures, it will stand exposed.

The Board under pressure from separatists and hardliner in Kashmir, is in the process of loosing its credibility. It will have serious repercussions especially at a time when the yatra has increased manifolds and it has come to occupy a centrestage at both state and national level politics.


The Board is saying that it can't endanger the life of the yatris by early start of the yatra as there has been continuous snowfall. The question raised is that can Board ensure that there will not be heavy snowfall after June 25.

Second important thing is that even in the past, the track has been receiving snow. And one can not dispute the fact that snowfall was much more 50-yr back than now. But even then yatra was taken . At that time there were no arrangement and yatris would undertake yatra as per their belief and casualties wouldn't be so much as is being feared by the Board.


The Board has to accept the fact that it's under pressure from hard-line section of the Valley and also of the chief minister who himself has raised the bogey of weather and is relying on the statement of one spiritual head, whose credential are not as impeccable as they are made out

The Board in its propaganda war is loosing the game to the propaganda of the separatists and is following on appeasement policy which would hurt its credibility more than of any one else.
