Chandigarh, July 11, 2017: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has condemned the dastardly attack by terrorists on the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, terming it a shameful act of cowardice by forces bent on whipping up communal tensions to trigger violence in the country.
The Chief Minister made it clear that the people of India were together against elements out to destabilise the nation and “we will not allow anyone to vitiate and communalise the atmosphere in Punjab and other parts of the country.”
Captain Amarinder had late on Monday night tweeted his shock and condemnation at the “dastardly killing of Amarnath pilgrims in #Anantnag”. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Chief Minister reiterated his outright denunciation of the terror attack, and extended all support from his government to the injured.
Calling for collective action by the central and state governments to counter such assaults on the country’s peaceful fabric, he expressed the confidence that by working together, especially in the border states, they could combat the evil forces out to destabilise the country.
