Hoshiarpur- Punjab's Minister for Good Governance, Information Technology and Employment Generation and State President of Aam Aadmi Party Aman Arora strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and paid floral tribute to the deceased. He expressed his condolences to the bereaved families and shared his grief with them over this irreparable loss.
While offering prayers and floral tribute to the deceased at the local Shri Bade Hanuman Ji Mandir and Shri Kesho Mandir, Cabinet Minister Aman Arora prayed to God to grant peace to the departed souls and give strength to the families to bear this great loss. Cabinet Minister Aman Arora demanded from the Central Government that the terrorist activities and Pahalgam attackers should be killed by entering their homes. He said that the main demand of the time is to end this Pakistan-sponsored attack and its conspirators.
Cabinet Minister Aman Arora, along with Lok Sabha member Dr. Raj Kumar Chabbewal, Deputy Speaker Jai Krishan Singh Raudi, MLA Jasvir Singh Raja Gill, MLA Karambir Singh Ghumman and other personalities, while remembering the 26 victims of the Pahalgam attack, said that this is a very painful and unbearable incident for the countrymen, for which the whole country stands shoulder to shoulder with the victim families in this hour of grief. He said that the time has come to teach a lesson to the conspirators and attackers of the terrorist attack. He said that a very bad attack has been carried out on the tourists who had gone to visit Kashmir, which is being strongly condemned in the country and abroad.
While talking to journalists after paying obeisance at the temples, Cabinet Minister Aman Arora, in response to a question, said that it is very unfortunate that our intelligence agencies lacked information regarding the attack and the required number of security forces was not deployed in the valley. He said that there are 1,80,000 vacancies in the country's army, which should have been filled from the security point of view so that the country and its citizens can be protected from internal and external threats. He said that mere rhetoric will not work and someone will have to take responsibility for it.
He said that the families of the deceased in the Pahalgam attack have raised questions that the security forces did not ensure immediate access after the attack, whereas adequate number of soldiers should have been deployed at such a place with a large number of tourists, so that no untoward incident could have happened. He said that the country needs a full-time Home Minister because the current Home Minister is busy in government manipulations. He said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister of the country to ensure the safety of the country's 140 crore population.
