Har Ghar Tiranga: Active terrorists hoist Tricolour on ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’

India

oi-Vicky Nanjappa

From
the
times
when
the
Valley
lived
in
fear
and
terror
and
was
scared
of
even
displaying
the
Tiranga,
this
Independence
day
was
drastically
different.
Family
members
of
active
terror
commanders
of
the
Lashkar-e-Tayiba
and
Hizbul
Mujahideen
hoisted
the
Tricolour
at
their
residences
in
the
Valley.

New
Delhi,
Aug
16:
August
15,
2022
was
a
landmark
day
in
the
history
of
India.
The
nation
celebrated
75
years
of
India’s
independence
on
August
15
and
the
‘Har
Ghar
Tiranga’ campaign
not
just
aroused
the
sentiments
of
every
India,
but
did
more
than
that.

In
Jammu
and
Kashmir,
the
abrogation
of
Article
370
and
the
no-nonsense
policy
of
the
Union
Government
has
brought
about
several
changes.
On
August
15,
it
was
a
day
to
witness
when
the
Tiranga
flew
atop
the
house
of
active
terrorists
in
the
Valley.

Such
was
the
fear
among
these
terrorists
that
probably
for
the
first
time
in
75
years,
the
Valley
has
witnessed
such
scenes.

Family
members
of
active
terror
commanders
of
the
Lashkar-e-Tayiba
and
Hizbul
Mujahideen
hoisted
the
Indian
National
Flags
at
their
residences
in
the
Valley.

Dead
terrorist,
ex
commander
Hizbul
Mujahideen,
Riyaz
Naikoo’s
father
hoisted
Tricolour
at
his
home
in
Kashmir.
He
lives
in
District
Pulwama,
Tehsil
Awantipura.

An
official
tells
OneIndia
there
was
a
time
when
people
in
the
Valley
were
scared
of
displaying
the
Tiranga.
There
were
times
that
the
Pakistan
flag
would
be
brazenly
hoisted
and
displayed
in
the
Valley
on
Independence
Day.
All
that
has
changed
now,
the
officer
explained.

BJP
inching
towards
its
goal
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir

The
Tricolour
was
hoisted
at
the
homes
of
active
terrorists,
Gowhar
Manzoor
Mir
in
Tral,
Asif
Sheikh
and
Aijaz
Bhat.
At
Budgam
the
Tiranga
was
placed
at
the
house
of
active
terrorist
Aqib
Nazir.
The
Tiranga
was
also
found
at
the
homes
of
Zaffar
Hussain
Bhat
and
Amir
Khan
who
are
commanders
of
the
Hizbul
Mujahideen.
Their
homes
are
in
Anantnag
district.

The
father
of
the
dreaded
terrorist
Riyaz
Naikoo
who
was
gunned
down
by
the
security
forces
also
displayed
the
Tiranga
in
Pulwama
district.

With
the
abrogation
of
Article
370,
not
only
have
terror
cases
and
incidents
of
violence
reduced
in
the
country,
but
the
investment
proposals
to
create
jobs
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir
have
also
gone
up.

In
the
past
one
year,
there
have
been
investment
proposals
to
the
tune
of
Rs
52,155
crore.
Nearly
17,970
kanals
of
land
as
against
a
total
29,0322
kanals
sought
for
setting
up
key
units
have
already
been
allotted
in
both
the
Jammu
and
Kashmir
divisions.

The
hotels
and
restaurants,
health
and
social
work
sectors
have
raked
in
total
investments
of
Rs
5,193
crore
in
Kashmir
alone,
the
report
said.
In
the
case
of
other
sectors
such
as
steel
fabrication,
recreation,
warehousing
and
cold
storage,
sports,
eco-tourism
and
handicrafts
have
proposals
totalling
Rs
5,146
crore
approved
for
Jammu
division
and
Rs
2,157
crore
for
Kashmir.

At
3,164
kanals,
the
biggest
chunk
of
land
allotted
in
Kashmir
has
so
far
been
for
the
food
processing
and
hotel
sector.

3
years
of
abrogation
of
Article
370:
How
tourism
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir
has
changed?

Meanwhile,
on
the
terror
front
there
has
been
a
considerable
decline
in
the
number
of
cases.
In
2021
the
number
of
terror
related
incidents
stood
at
229
when
compared
to
the
417
reported
in
the
year
2018
thus
indicating
a
drop
of
38
per
cent
in
such
incidents
over
the
past
three
years.

In
the
2019-2021
period,
46
military
personnel
and
87
civilians
lost
their
lives
when
compared
to
the
178
soldiers
and
177
civilians
who
were
killed
in
terror
related
incidents
in
the
2014-2019
period.
