JAMMU, Sept 9: The Hindu bodies will forcefully counter the propaganda unleashed by separatists, their supporters and Valley based main stream political parties against the facilities being provided to pilgrims of holy Amarnath shrine by the Government.
The leaders of various Hindu organizations, social activists and intellectuals who participated in a meeting organised by Baba Amarnath & Buda Amarnath Yatri Niyas (BABAYN) on Saturday to frame a roadmap to counter the propaganda and misinformation campaign launched by the separatists of Kashmir valley against the facilities being provided to pilgrims of holy Amarnath shrine decided that they will not allow any one to interfere in the religious affairs of Hindus.
The meeting which was presided over by Maj. Gen. (Retd.) B.N. Dhar was convened by the President of Baba Amarnath & Buda Amarnath Yatri Niyas, Surinder Mohan Aggarwal while Dr. M.M. Munshi, a renowned environmentalist was the main speaker.
The meeting took serious exception to propaganda launched by separatists and said this has exposed the mindset of separatists towards annual Hindu pilgrimage in South Kashmir, as after the intervention of Supreme Court, which has asked the J&K Government to finish construction of roads and widening of passage to the Shrine of Shri Amarnath Ji before snowfall, and for making better facilities for the devotees.
The meeting also discussed the various issues, regarding the annual Yatra of Shri Amarnath Ji and said that it will not allow any one to interfere in the religious affairs of Hindus.
