PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday lauded Pahalgam terror assault sufferer Lt. Vinay Narwal’s widow, Himanshi, for her enchantment for communal team spirit, announcing the rustic will have to draw inspiration from her.
Referring to Himanshi Narwal’s observation — “We don’t want people going after Muslims and Kashmiris” — Mehbooba criticized National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah for remarks he made to a bit of the media, suggesting that the Pahalgam assault on April 22 may just no longer have came about with out inside improve.
In a media interview, the NC leader stated, “I do not think these things can happen unless someone helped them. They came from there. How did they come?”
The PDP president referred to as Abdullah’s remarks each “misleading” and “dangerous,” particularly at a time when scholars and buyers from Jammu and Kashmir are susceptible and vulnerable to retaliation following the Pahalgam incident, which left the country grieving and outraged.
“Farooq Sahab’s statement implicating Kashmiris in the Pahalgam terror attack is deeply disturbing and regrettable. As a senior leader, that too as a Kashmiri, his statement risks fueling divisive narratives providing ammunition to certain media channels to further stereotype and stigmatize Kashmiris and Muslims,” Mehbooba stated in a publish on X.
“We should draw inspiration from Himanshi Narwal, who, despite the martyrdom of her husband, urged Indians not to blame or target Kashmiris or Muslims,” she added.
On Thursday, Himanshi Narwal, who had married Navy officer Lt. Narwal only a week earlier than shedding him within the April 22 terror assault, stated, “We don’t want people going after Muslims and Kashmiris. We want peace and justice. People who have done wrong with him should be punished.”
Lt. Narwal was once gunned down in Pahalgam simply 10 days in the past. He would have grew to become 27 as of late. The symbol of the army officer’s frame mendacity within the lush Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam, along with his newlywed spouse slumped beside him with an empty gaze, has turn out to be a haunting image of the ghastly assault that claimed 26 lives.
