JAMMU, Sept 25: BJP State secretary, Aseem Gupta, while commenting on the recent report that the Tourism Sector in Kashmir has suffered a loss of around Rs 3,000 crore due to the ongoing unrest in the Valley as there has been sharp decline in the visit of tourists, expressed serious concern over it and appealed the people of Kashmir to get united against the separatists, who are responsible for creating such situation and defeat their nefarious designs by extending support to the Government in restoring peace and normalcy so that life comes back to rails at the earliest.
In a handout, issued here, today Aseem Gupta said the economy of Kashmir is almost dependent on tourism and the livelihood of the maximum population of Valley is linked with this Sector in one way or the other, except a very small per cent of Government employees. But unfortunately a handful of anti-Kashmir and pro-Pakistan elements, time and again, try to create disturbances for their personal survival while pushing the majority of the people towards poverty and starvation. Whatever these elements have been doing in the Valley on the dictates of their masters sitting across the border, is not for the welfare of the people of the Kashmir and they need to be made ineffective.
