Kausar Nag, a Hindu Pilgrimage in Kashmir, soon to become a mosque

After Kashmiri Pandits were denied Yatra to Kausar nag (Vishnupad) in Kashmir, there is a mosque being planned there and some goons are praying to west on the same historical and Hindu religious spot!

I won’t be surprised that this place will be declared a MUSLIM heritage soon and lot of seculars will happily accept it so people of a “CERTAIN COMMUNITY” won’t get upset!!

Below is the news item regarding Kausar nag Yatra Interruption… BUT calling it a mere political issue after seeing this image is plain STUPID!!

 

Hype created over Kausar Nag yatra row: Rajnath Singh

The controversy over a proposal of Kashmiri Pandits to undertake yatra to Kausar Nag was a result of “hype” given to a “low-key event” which has no link to rehabilitation of the displaced people, government said today, adding the issue has subsided now. Responding to a calling attention motion, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said before the onset of militancy in 1989, traditionally the devotees used to visit the Kausar Nag lake situated at an altitude of about 12,000 feet in Pir Panjal range in south Kashmir.

The devotees used to visit this place in an unorganised manner to perform puja on the day of Nag Panchami in the Shravan month of Hindu calendar, he said. “The puja, however, got disrupted with the eruption of militancy. The puja was resumed by devotees a few years back following improvement in the overall security scenario through its traditional route — Gul Gulab Garh via Reasi with its base camp at Chassana village in Reasi district of Jammu region,” Singh said.

The calling attention was given by K Kavitha (TRS), Anurag Thakur, Sanjay Jaiswal (both BJP) and B Mahtab (BJD) regarding decision to disallow Kausar Nag Yatra from Kashmir side.

Giving details, Singh said the state administration has been making security arrangements for the pilgrims coming from Reasi side and this year also, a batch of 150 devotees who came from the traditional route performed puja on August 1 and returned the same day.

Another group of Kashmiri Pandits was disallowed to undertake a parallel yatra from the valley side of Kulgam and they were advised to go from the Reasi side. The offer was turned down by the leader of the Kashmiri Pandit group.

“The above said event, however, has led to a major controversy between the Jammu-based groups and Kashmiri Migrant Committee on the one side which gave hype to a low-key event of a group of pilgrims performing puja on the day of Nag Panchami and on the other side, the valley-based separatists, and the mainstream political parties which called the event, a well-planned conspiracy and projected the event as having an adverse environmental impact on the Kausar Nag area.

“A few prominent leaders of the state expressed that the issue was neither communal nor ecological but politically- motivated in order to create a 2008 agitation like situation where one community was pitted against another and made the issue as Jammu region vs Kashmir,” he said.

“The issue, for the time being, has subsided,” the Home Minister said.
