APSCC asks people to remain vigilant during Obama Visit

In a statement APSCC chairman, Jagmohan Singh Raina said the minority community members may be targeted by people with vested interests so as to create fear psychosis among the masses in general. He said people should remain vigilant so that such eventuality is avoided and there is no disturbance in Kashmir.
“Members of both the majority and minorities are living in harmony and they should continue to do so without any confusion among their ranks. The onus is more on majority community and they should protect the interests of minorities. Since there are inputs that minorities may be targeted it becomes all the more imperative for majority community to ensure safety of the minority communities,” said Raina.
APSCC chairman said in the past whenever any important political personality was to visit India minorities in Kashmir would be under threat. He said during the visit of former US President, Bill Clinton in March 2000, 35 Sikhs were killed in Chattisinghpora in Anantnag. He said people should maintain a close watch so that such diabolic acts are not repeated.
“Almost 15 years have passed ever since the Chattisinghpora incident took place but as on date people who killed those innocents are not identified. No probe was ordered in the incident and as such truth never came out. Then US President in a book authored by him later on expressed apologies that it was due to his visit that innocent Sikhs got killed in Kashmir,” said Raina.
Raina said in November 2010 when Obama visited India, Sikhs living in Upalna and Hutmurah villages of Baramulla and Anantnag districts respectively got terrified when some people knocked at their doors in the dead of the night. He said no further probe was ordered in the matter so that truth comes adding that mystery continues as on date.
