Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary<\/strong> on Wednesday strongly denounced attempts by certain elements to destabilize Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s thriving tourism sector, stating that the government stands firm with the people and will not allow local jobs or peace to be compromised.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a public outreach event in the picturesque hill station of Gulmarg, Choudhary emphasized the resilience of the region in the face of recent challenges, including terror incidents. \u201cThere are people who want to destroy our tourism and our people\u2019s employment,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they will not succeed. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir stands with its people and with India.\u201d<\/p>\n

He lauded the people of Kashmir for their legendary hospitality and peaceful spirit<\/strong>, pointing out that despite security concerns, tourism remains vibrant and essential to the region\u2019s economy. \u201cKashmir continues to attract tourists. As you saw today, many visitors came to Gulmarg. That makes a difference,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u2018Peace Still Defines Kashmir\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choudhary said that the purpose of the event was to send a clear message to the country and the world: Kashmir remains peaceful and open for tourism<\/strong>. \u201cIf anyone wants to disturb the situation in J&K, they won\u2019t succeed. Our brotherhood and hospitality\u2014especially that of Kashmir\u2014are world-renowned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He urged national and international journalists to visit the region to witness its true spirit, remarking, \u201cThe image of J&K portrayed in the media is not accurate. This place is peaceful, and the people are full of love. Kashmir has been the backdrop of many cinematic love stories.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Upcoming Tourism Season Crucial<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Looking ahead, the Deputy CM stressed the importance of the upcoming summer tourism season<\/strong>, calling for positive promotion across all media platforms. \u201cThe next two to three months are crucial. Social media has great power. Let us spread positivity, not negativity,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

Governance and Democracy in Focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choudhary also took the opportunity to highlight the complexities of governance in Jammu and Kashmir. \u201cThere are three types of governments in J&K today\u2014one elected, one installed, and one at the Centre. We should allow the elected government to make decisions for those who voted. That\u2019s how democracy is strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Deputy CM reiterated that the government under Chief Minister Omar Abdullah<\/strong> is committed to defending the interests of J&K\u2019s citizens and promoting economic growth through peace, progress, and partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
