Early Times Report
Jammu, June 17: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued warning of more attempts to polarize the atmosphere in the Jammu region along religious lines to communalise the situation. The ministry has asked the state government to act seriously on its advisory and keep a tab on the developments.
"The two back-to-back sacrilegious incidents can't be isolated incidents. These pose serious questions especially about the timing. Even if the accused may not be knowing the exact repercursions, but there is strong possibility that their handlers might have done it with a definite game plan," said a senior official, who is privy to the advisory issued by the home ministry.
The home ministry has also sought detailed report from the state government about the incidents which had a potential of the fairing up the situation in the Jammu region.
"There is a strong possibility that these attempts were made when the newly stitched alliance is settling down which could be unnerving to many actors. And secondly the Amarnath yatra is starting. A polarized situation could affect the yatra and this could be a major political shock to the BJP government at the Centre and the state. This is a serious issue and can't be taken lightly," said the official.
