Union minister Jitendra Singh stated on Monday that strike calls in Srinagar, formerly a frequent occurrence pushed by outside powers, no longer have any impact over the hardy people of the area. This is a major development reflecting changing times and altering viewpoints. Speaking outside the third G20 Tourism Working Group meeting in this location, Singh emphasized the transformed attitude of the populace and attributed it to a growing disrespect for strike calls coming from Pakistan.
Singh clarified the historical backdrop by saying, “There was a time when strike calls would come from across the border, and the people of Srinagar would observe a shutdown in response.” However, a tremendous shift has been seen. The people have shown a firm will to continue on with their everyday lives, giving little mind to such appeals, despite strike calls that may still be made from Pakistan and even within Srinagar, according to Singh, the Minister of State for Science and Technology and the Prime Minister’s Office.
Singh’s speech serves as a potent tribute to Srinagar’s residents’ changing mentality, who have demonstrated a strong dedication to advancement and development, regardless of outside pressures. The comments made by the Union minister dispel any residual concerns regarding the stability and normality that are now in place in the area. Singh was upbeat about the effect on investor confidence and promised that they would go home with the message that the false stories promoted by entrenched interests against Jammu and Kashmir no longer have any merit.
He also mentioned the fervent desire of the people, especially the young people of Jammu and Kashmir, to participate in this development and avoid falling behind. The city of Srinagar has undergone a change that is a monument to its residents’ tenacity and tenacity. The once-regular strike calls, which were once a sign of discontent and disruption, have been reduced to insignificance. This change in perspective demonstrates the people’s willingness to move forward and embrace a future characterized by progress and development. Srinagar emerges as a beacon of optimism, shattering myths and demonstrating that growth and prosperity can transcend boundaries and triumph over divisive agendas as the sounds of strike cries fade into the distance.
