New Delhi: Home Minister Rajnath Singh won praise from across party lines for his “statesman-like” responses to the Amarnath terror attack, in which he hailed the “spirit of Kashmiriyat”. Many, including former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, were all praise for the veteran leader. Not all, however, were impressed by the Home Minister’s measured response, indicating that they preferred tough action over tough words.
The people of Kashmir have strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath yatris. It shows the spirit of Kashmiriyat is very much alive. — Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) July 11, 2017
In a strongly-worded reply to the Home Minister, author and Twitter user Suchi Singh Kalra tweeted, “Who gives a f*** about the spirit of Kashmiriyat at this moment? It’s not your job to placate. Just drag those cowards out and cull them.” But Rajnath Singh’s response to the tweet was both measured and firm. “Ms Kalra I certainly do. It is absolutely my job to ensure peace & tranquility in all parts of the country. All Kashmiris are not terrorists,” he said.

Phogat was not alone in her criticism. Others, in fact, were more direct in targetting Singh. Swarajya Magazine columnist Shefali Vaidya said, “Absolutely sickened w d way d libtard brigade hounded Shuchi Kalra off twitter n disappointed with @rajnathsingh 4 throwing her to d wolves.”
Another Twitter user said, “Finally @RajnathSingh ji took strong against #AmarnathTerrorAttack.. by targeting a person who asks to take action against terrorists. Bravo.”
