One Nationalist Party and some Hindu Organisations called Nation wide
Hartal on 3rd July,2008 upon the issue of denial of lands already
assigned to the Amarnath
Shrine Board By the J&K Government. Upon the issue the Hurriat
Conference, PDP and some other 'anti Indian' – 'anti Hindu' force
created an earlier violence in the society, even upon the guest
pilgrims came to Kashmir for paying homage to the holy shrine of
Amarnathji. The jehadi force brutally tortured upon the Hindu sadhus
and tirthajatris (pilgrims).

As a retaliation a severe
protests were found in Jammu over a week and everywhere in India in
course of Hartal, the Hindus reacted and conveyed their solidarity to
the Hindu pilgrims affected in Amarnathji Yatra.

In Bengal, the issue is now entagged with the shameless torture upon Gangasagar

The recent stand of Congress and its other Muslim political allies on Amarnath Shrine land transfer issue has further augmented the fact that Hindus of Jammu & Kashmir are regarded as second class citizens.

Muslim dominated political forces, both mainstream and separatists, in their crusade to make Jammu & Kashmir an Islamic state have joined hands to work against Hindus.

The perfect example of it is the hue and cry raised in Muslim dominated Kashmir region over the allotment of 40 hectares of forest land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB), which till now was managing the annual pilgrimage to the Hindu holy cave shrine in south Kashmir. The responsibility of managing the yatra has been taken over by the state government since June 29, 2008. Prior to SASB’s formation in 2000, it was the government that was wholly responsible for making arrangements for the pilgrimage.
