Déjà Vu!
Night of 2/8/2019 bears an uncanny resemblance to one of 19/1/1990 when mass exodus of #KashmiriPandits was arranged by govt then in power.Just like KPs then were,tourists&yatris are being now moved to India for safety

3 decades of massacre&mayhem followed in Kashmir1/n

If there's a terror threat to Amarnath Yatra, why are tourists in Gulmarg and in houseboats in Srinagar being asked to leave? And if even these places aren't safe, what about security of local Kashmiris? Or do they not matter to this govt?

I cannot remember a time (please correct me if I am wrong) in 25 years of reporting from Jammu and Kashmir that the Amarnath Yatra was called off. Even after the horrific terror attack on it two years ago in 2017 it continued unabated. There's more here than we know so far

Minutes after Srinagar Corps Commander and J&K Police chief tell media that militant leadership in Kashmir is decimated and all threats can be handled… govt cancels an ongoing Amarnath Yatra (FIRST TIME EVER) and tells tourists to leave Kashmir. A smoke screen? For what? 1/2

People of Pak stand with People of Kashmir, India should face the reality instead of putting people in danger as Jalib said “ Mohabbat ka seena Golion Se boo Rahay ho, Watan ka chehra Kho’n se dho rahay ho, Gumaan tum ko k Rasta kut raha hai, Yaqeen mujh ko Manzil Kho rahay ho” https://t.co/DQZ544Uery

Massive troop deployments in IO Kashmir. Elite forces also moving in. What is Delhi trying to do? Kashmiri leadership in the valley alerting the world to danger. Rumors of 35A and trifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir in the air. Islamabad needs to respond. Now.
