In an unusual rebuttal to an online troll, the Home Minister asserted that all Kashmiris were not terrorists and said it was his job to ensure peace and tranquillity in all parts of the country

Travel portal MakeMyTrip on Tuesday distanced itself from a tweet by one of its staff questioning comments of Home Minister Rajnath Singh that people of Kashmir have condemned the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims.

“The views expressed by Ms Suchi on Twitter are her personal thoughts and do not in anyway reflect the views of MakeMyTrip, however, we do regret the language used,” MakeMyTrip said in a statement.

In an unusual rebuttal to an online troll, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted that all Kashmiris were not terrorists and said it was his job to ensure peace and tranquillity in all parts of the country.

The people of Kashmir have strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath yatris. It shows the spirit of Kashmiriyat is very much alive. — Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) July 11, 2017

The assertion by the Home Minister came in response to a tweet from an “Editor of Make My Trip”, a travel portal, which raised questions on his comment that the people of Kashmir had strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims and that it showed the spirit of Kashmiriyat was very much alive.

Replying to the Home Minister, Suchi Singh Kalra, who by using a derogatory word, told Mr. Singh that no one cared about whether Kashmiriyat was alive or not in Jammu and Kashmir, but needed strong action from him against the terrorists responsible for Monday’s attack.

Mr. Singh responded, “Ms Kalra I certainly do. It is absolutely my job to ensure peace and tranquillity in all parts of the country. All Kashmiris are not terrorists.”

Ms Kalra I certainly do. It is absolutely my job to ensure peace & tranquility in all parts of the country. All Kashmiris are not terrorists https://t.co/YdTnjDND9i — Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) July 11, 2017

In the Twitter profile, Ms. Kalra claimed to be an editor of the “Make My Trip”. However, soon Ms. Kalra deleted the twitter account.
