Seeing tourists made me smile; I always wanted people from all over the country and the world to come and experience this marvellous beauty.” (sic)

“This is how they destroy the peace there! This is how they try to scare us! Their army can't stand against our mighty Indian Army, so now they go after civilians!! Appalled, angry & devastated - how many lives before we say enough?. ” We have to put an end to this! A definite end! Praying for the souls we lost. Om Shanti,” he added.
