The President of India,

Rashtrapati Bhawan,

New Delhi 110001 5

Respected President,

Decision to revoke the allotment of 40-hectare forestland to the
Shree Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) for development of facilities for
pilgrims is a complete surrender to the fundamentalist and separatist
forces. By revoking the allotment of this land, the Congress party has
demonstrated that it is one with the fundamentalists in creating a
theocratic environment in the Kashmir valley.
