JAMMU, Apr 11: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh claimed that there was a new-found positivity in J&K ever since it was declared a Union Territory and it has also reflected in big boom in the number of tourists to the J&K.
“The law and order situation in J&K has substantially improved due to the diligent work of the security forces. People from other States are visiting J&K in an unprecedented number and it is also reflected in the record number of expected pilgrims who would be going to the Amarnath yatra this year,” he said in a statement, issued here today.
Chugh said it was a very positive sign for the nation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies and strategies have made J&K enter a new era where terrorism has been replaced by tourism.
He said the security forces are determined to foil all attempts of the Pakistan ISI to disturb peace in J&K as they would not be allowed to have free play anymore. “The age of Abdullahs and Muftis supported by the Congress is over and now the disruptive forces are beating the retreat much to the satisfaction of common man here,” Chugh added.
