| Majority of Indians demand more military force to eliminate terror in Kashmir | | PEW Centre's latest Report | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 30: The latest report of the PEW Centre is out. The PEW provides information on social issues, public opinion, and demographic trends shaping the United States and the world. It has said that "Indians largely view Pakistan as a threat and believe the situation in Kashmir warrants more military force".
The latest survey by the PEW Centre says that "a majority of the Indians believe that their government should use more military force in dealing with the law and order situation in the state of Jammu and Kashmir" and that "a majority of Indians (55 percent) see the situation in Kashmir as a very big problem".
"More than half (53 percent) say circumstances in Kashmir have gotten worse over the last five years, and a majority (58 percent) believes the Indian government should use more military force than it uses currently in dealing with tensions in the area," the PEW report has said.
"In the Center's spring survey last year, 76 percent of Indians said Pakistan is a major threat to their country, including 63 percent who said it is a very serious threat. This view was shared by people in rural areas and urban centers, supporters of both the prime minister's BJP and the Congress party, as well as Indians across age groups. Additionally, 65 percent said terrorism is a very big problem in India," the report has further said.
It also has suggested that "the recent escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan after the February 14 Pulwama attack, which martyred 45 CRPF jawans, has turned the long-running territorial dispute over Kashmir into a potent campaign issue for Modi". |
