Apprehensions that the Jammu and Kashmir administration is trying to change the demography of the erstwhile state is one of the reasons why attacks on minorities have increased in the last few years, police say.
"Probe in recent killings indicate that there are apprehensions among various segments that after 2019, the Centre is trying to change demography, and terrorist organisations are fueling this fear," a senior police officer in Kashmir valley indicated.
As per Ministry of Home Affairs data, as many as 34 people belonging to minority communities have lost their lives in the last five years in terrorist-related incidents in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Last year, as many as 11 people belonging to minority communities were targeted by terrorists. Out of this, 9 were Hindus," a senior police officer explained.
