Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticized the increasing use of the slogan “We are Gen Z” during a statement on Wednesday. He compared it to an outdated threat, saying it resembles the phrase, “Jaante nahin ho mera baap kaun hai?” Abdullah cautioned that using this tagline as a threat in response to perceived slights could quickly diminish any goodwill associated with the Gen Z generation.
HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the report, neither was there any official response from the Army by Wednesday evening on the incident. “It was a very good meeting. The incident took place on July 25, when the movement of the defence minister and the Army chief along the Zojila-Gumri route led to traffic restrictions in the area, the Times of India reported, citing sources.
Officials said the two were scheduled to travel by air, but bad weather forced them to fly by helicopter to Gumri, from where they travelled by road towards Kargil, according to the report. The woman, in the video, could be heard saying people travel from far away and spend considerable amounts of money on their trips, only to face “all this”. She was seen arguing with the security personnel at the checkpoint and said that they were tourists, not Kashmiris who, she said, were subjected to such behaviour. Gor said that the United States will reconsider the advisories on travel to Jammu and Kashmir as the central government and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah have taken steps to make it a safer place. “New Delhi, the chief minister here, the government here, we believe have made some incredible steps to keeping this area safer and making it more safe,” Gor said at a joint media briefing with Abdullah, news agency PTI reported. The J&K chief minister said he discussed with Gor the relations between New Delhi and Washington with a specific focus on Jammu and Kashmir. We had an opportunity to discuss the relations between our two countries, but with a specific focus on what the US can do with Jammu and Kashmir,” the chief minister said.
