Kashmir's Gurez Valley Faces Backlash Over Controversial 'Tantra in Silence' Event

In a dramatic turn of events, leaders from various political and religious factions in Kashmir have voiced strong opposition to the upcoming event titled 'Tantra in Silence', scheduled to take place in the Gurez Valley from September 24 to 27. The event, promoted by Swami Dhyan Sumit of the Shree Rajneesh Foundation, has sparked concerns among local communities who view it as a potential disruption to the region's peace and stability.

The Bandipora district administration has issued a clear statement, advising the public not to trust unauthorised promotional claims regarding the event. This raises crucial questions about accountability: Why were such promotional materials allowed to circulate? Who is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the community in the face of such unauthorised activities?

With community sentiment strongly against the event, the onus now lies on local authorities to act decisively. Will they enforce the law and protect residents from potential disruptions, or will they remain passive in the face of mounting public pressure? As reported by The Hindu, the situation remains tense as the dates draw closer, leaving many to wonder about the true intentions behind this controversial gathering.
