Pahalgam terror act is attack on principles of humanity: Salim Sherwani

Prayagraj, Apr 29 (UNI) Senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and former Union Minister Saleem Shervani on Tuesday condemned the Pahalgam incident and said where the country's unity and integrity is concerned, all parties should unite and face the opposition.
While talking to reporters, the former minister said that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, is a brutal and inhuman act. "It is an attack on the principles of humanity. No kind of compromise can be made with the country's unity and integrity. No political party should do politics on this tragic incident. There are many issues to do politics on. We should unite and face the opposition. Whatever steps the government takes, we are with them," he said.
He said that there is also a lapse in security behind the incident that happened in Pahalgam. "From where did these terrorists enter and carry out such a big incident. We do not need to get entangled in this issue but need to give them a befitting reply," he said.
Shervani appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take concrete steps against this inhuman act so that such an incident does not recur. He said that whatever action the central government is going to take regarding this inhuman act, there should be no leniency in it.
He said that he has come to know, how much of it is true, I do not know, but the steps that the central government is going to take, many other countries, whether it is America, European Union, Iran, China or some other countries, are pressuring our government to take mild action against Pakistan because it is a big debtor of those countries.
He said that the Indian Government should not come under anyone's pressure and should not hesitate in taking strict action.
In response to a question, the SP leader said that people who come with a visa do not commit such heinous acts. "Infiltrators commit such inhuman acts. There is better facility of medical treatment here, due to which many Pakistanis come with visa for treatment," he said.
He said that if the government wants, it can stop Pakistani visas but the government should be lenient towards those coming for treatment. "There is no question of going to a country (Pakistan) which always tries to humiliate our India and does such inhumane acts," he said.
In response to another question, Shervani said that 99 per cent of Muslims support India. He said that if the Muslims living in India had associated themselves with Jammu and Kashmir, then there would have been trouble today.
He said, "No Muslim cares about what is happening there, it is completely different. But for the first time, the Muslims of Jammu and Kashmir have shown unity. They have come out on the streets against this terrorism. This is a good beginning, we should go ahead and support them in this."
