    Internet Shocked By Reports Of Local Kashmiris Laughing At Bullet Ridden Amarnath Yatris

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 12 Jul, 2017 12:58 PM

      Less than 24 hours after Rajnath Singh celebrated the ‘Kashmiriyat’, disturbing reports have emerged about inhuman behaviour some locals displayed after the Amarnath terror attack took place.

       

      According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, an injured pilgrim named Rajesh Naval recalled that there were a few shops near the site of the attack. As the injured women and elderly cried for help, rather than coming out and helping those in need, the shopkeepers simply decided to stand and laugh at them.

       

      Here are some of the reactions:

       
       
       
       
       
       

      Senior journalist Nikhil Wagle claims that the newspaper was lying. In fact, he demanded legal action against Dainik Bhaskar, though he did not provide any reason why he thought the newspaper was wrong.

       
       

      US Condemns ‘Cowardly’ Amarnath Attack; China, Pak Mum

       

      The Trump administration on Wednesday strongly condemned the “cowardly” terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims in Kashmir and vowed that the US and India will together continue to fight terror threats in “every part of the world”.
       
       
      Denouncement of the Amarnath terror attack by the international community continued to come in but India’s two major neighbours, China and Pakistan, have not commented on it.
       
      The Portuguese government condemned the attack and expressed its support for the authorities and solidarity with the Indian people, while the Spanish President in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India can count on Spain in the fight against terrorism.
       
       
       
       
       
      The US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, Norway, Canada, Iran apart from The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries—Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal—are among those which have already condemned the attack.
       
       
      China and Pakistan, a SAARC-member nation, are only two immediate neighbours of India which have not commented on the attack.
       
       
      Seven Amarnath pilgrims were killed and 19 others injured in the terrorist attack in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Monday night.
       
       
      “The United States and India will continue to fight together against terrorist threats in every part of the world,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement issued two days after the attack.
       
       
      The United States “strongly condemns the cowardly terrorist attack” on religious pilgrims in the state of Jammu and Kashmir on July 10, he said.
       
       
       
       
      “We extend condolences to the victims’ families and the people of India. An attack on religious freedom is an attack on the most fundamental right of liberty,” Spicer said.
