CPI(MP) MLA MY Tarigami on Tuesday urged the government to analyse the security lapse and take measures to prevent future attacks following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Tarigami emphasised the need for unity across religious, political, and cultural lines to face the threat of terrorism. "At the time of such a tragedy, people cutting across religious, political and cultural lines have said that this is a terrorist act and we all together have to face it...The Government of India should analyse where the lapse was and take measures...," Tarigami told ANI. Tarigami expressed concerns over the government's decision to demolish the houses of suspected terrorists allegedly involved in the Pahalgam attack. "If the government keeps taking such actions (demolition of houses of suspected terrorists allegedly involved in the Pahalgam attack), it will only cause more trouble," he added. The security forces and Jammu and Kashmir authorities demolished the house of suspects linked to the deadly terror attack that killed 26 people, who were mostly tourists, and left several injured. The decisive action of J-K Police aims to dismantle the terrorist ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir by identifying and taking legal action against individuals engaged in such anti-national and criminal activities. Earlier on April 26, the Srinagar Police conducted searches at the residences of 63 individuals. On the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, Tarigami advised caution, saying, "I think one should act patiently." He suggested that hasty actions might not yield the desired results and could potentially escalate tensions. The Centre has put the treaty on abeyance as a countermeasure against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, in which 26 tourists were killed. The treaty allocates 20 per cent of the water from the Indus River System to India, with the remaining 80 per cent to Pakistan. India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty, which allocates the Western Rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan and the Eastern Rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) to India. The Indus Waters Treaty was signed in 1960, following nine years of negotiations between India and Pakistan, with the assistance of the World Bank. It is recognised as one of the most successful international treaties, as it has endured the 1965, 1971 and 1999 Kargil wars between the two nations. Meanwhile, intense counter-terrorism operations are underway at multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, sources familiar with the matter told ANI. According to the sources, no specific updates are being shared at this stage due to the sensitive nature of the ongoing operations. (ANI)
