NEW DELHI: In an unusual rebuttal to an online troll, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted that all Kashmiris were not terrorists and said it was his job to ensure peace and tranquillity in all parts of the country.

The assertion by the Home Minister came in response to a tweet from an “Editor of Make My Trip”, a travel portal, which raised questions on his comment that the people of Kashmir had strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims and that it showed the spirit of Kashmiriyat was very much alive.

Replying to the Home Minister, Suchi Singh Kalra, who by using a derogatory word, told Mr. Singh that no one cared about whether Kashmiriyat was alive or not in Jammu and Kashmir, but needed strong action from him against the terrorists responsible for Monday’s attack.

Singh responded, “Ms Kalra I certainly do. It is absolutely my job to ensure peace and tranquillity in all parts of the country. All Kashmiris are not terrorists.”



Travel portal MakeMyTrip had also distanced itself from Suchi's comments questioning Rajnath Singh.

“The views expressed by Suchi on Twitter are her personal thoughts and do not in anyway reflect the views of MakeMyTrip, however, we do regret the language used,” MakeMyTrip said in a statement.

After Rajnath's response to Suchi's tweet, a message went viral on social media claiming that the travel portal has fired its employee, which later proved to be a mere hoax.
