We too had a role in Amarnath row: Nirmal Singh

Singh was speaking at the release of the promo of a feature film Nasheman, the story of which revolves around a Muslim boy from the Valley and Hindu girl from Jammu.

Seven years after the Amarnath land row polarised Jammu and Kashmir on regional lines, Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Dr Nirmal Singh admitted Sunday night that they too had played a role in the agitation and called for efforts to bridge that divide.

The two come across each other during the land row and then try to spread the message of communal harmony.

“This picture may not be showing it, but we too were actors in this entire agitation,’’ said Singh at the function.

Stating that the issue was “not too big”, the Deputy CM said it had become imperative to launch an agitation against the “wrong thinking” which had cropped up at that time.
