Himachal Pradesh Governor alleged that the Pakistani government and its military are responsible for intimidation of Pandits in Kashmir, raising concerns over cross‑border interference.
Himachal Pradesh Governor publicly claimed that the government of Pakistan and its armed forces are orchestrating threats against the Pandit community in the Kashmir region. The statement was made during a press interaction where the governor highlighted recent incidents of intimidation targeting the minority Hindu population in the valley.
According to the governor, the alleged cross‑border activities aim to destabilise the social fabric of Kashmir and undermine India's internal security. He urged the central government to take decisive diplomatic and security measures to counter such interference.
The remarks come amid heightened sensitivities over the status of Kashmiri Pandits, many of whom have faced displacement and violence over the decades. No official response from the Pakistani side has been recorded as of now.
Security agencies in Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir have been instructed to monitor the situation closely, with a view to ensuring the safety of the community and preventing any escalation of tensions.
