Washington: There has been a 40 per cent decline in cases of terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir over the past two years, a group of Indian-Americans has said, as it celebrated the second anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.
The event titled ‘Kashmir: Moving Forward in a Dangerous Zone’ was hosted by Hindu Policy Research and Advocacy Collective (HinduPACT), an initiative of the World Hindu Council of America (VHPA) and Global Kashmiri Pandit Diaspora (GKPD) along with members of the Kashmiri and Afghan Diaspora communities on Capitol Hill.
Coinciding with the visit to India by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the event on July 29 also marked the launch of a two-week initiative – #KashmirForward. Over the past two years, there has been a 40 per cent decline in cases of terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, the group said in a statement.
The Indian government informed Parliament last week that the number of incidents of terrorist violence has come down in Jammu and Kashmir in the last two years.
