In the wake of the tragic Pahalgam terror attack that shocked the nation, Jammu and Kashmir’s Agriculture Minister Javid Ahmed Dar met Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu in Shimla today. The meeting, while described as a courtesy call, carried a strong undertone of concern for the safety of Kashmiri citizens residing in Himachal Pradesh.
During the meeting, Minister Javid Ahmed Dar strongly condemned the brutal attack on tourists in Pahalgam and urged Chief Minister Sukhu to ensure the security of Kashmiri workers and students who have made Himachal their second home. The incident, which has shaken the collective conscience of the nation, has also heightened concerns over the safety of Kashmiris living outside their home state.
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu expressed deep sorrow over the Pahalgam attack and unequivocally condemned the heinous act of violence. He emphasized that the people of Himachal Pradesh are inherently peace-loving and have always upheld the values of brotherhood, harmony, and coexistence. Reiterating the government’s commitment to these ideals, he assured Minister Dar that the Himachal Pradesh Government would take every necessary measure to guarantee the safety, dignity, and protection of Kashmiris in the state.
The Chief Minister underlined that Himachal Pradesh has always been a land of hospitality and mutual respect, where people from across the country, including Jammu and Kashmir, have found a secure and welcoming environment. He stated that the tragic events in Pahalgam must not be allowed to disturb the communal harmony that binds the people together.
The assurance comes at a crucial time when tensions are high, and concerns about retaliatory actions and communal disharmony are being raised in several quarters. By firmly reiterating the state’s commitment to safeguarding Kashmiris, the Himachal government has sent out a powerful message of unity and solidarity, emphasizing that terror cannot be allowed to fracture the fabric of Indian society.
Chief Minister Sukhu’s response reflects the broader spirit of national unity that India seeks to uphold even during times of deep grief and provocation. His government’s proactive approach aims not just to maintain law and order but also to ensure that the values of inclusiveness and brotherhood remain untouched by acts of terror designed to sow hatred and division.
The meeting between the two leaders stands as a testament to cooperative federalism and the spirit of mutual respect between states, especially at a time when compassion, empathy, and decisive leadership are most needed.
