‘We are Gen Z’ the new ‘jaante nahi mera baap kaun hai’: Omar Abdullah on viral Kargil video of woman
Omar's reaction came in response to a video in which a woman can purportedly be seen shouting and creating a ruckus at the Minimarg checkpoint in Kargil, Ladakh
Jammu and Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticized the frequent use of the "We are Gen Z" tagline, comparing it to an old threat, "Jaante nahin ho mera baap kaun hai?" Abdullah warned that using the phrase as a threat at every perceived slight will quickly erode any goodwill towards Gen Z. This comment was made in response to a viral video from July 25 showing a woman shouting at security personnel at the Minimarg checkpoint in Kargil, Ladakh.
The video, which showed the woman arguing with the security personnel about tourists facing difficulties, went viral on social media. The incident occurred when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, army chief, and defense minister were traveling through the Zojila-Gumri route, leading to traffic restrictions. The authenticity of the incident could not be verified, and no official response was given by the Army.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor met with Abdullah and expressed the US's intention to reconsider travel advisories for Jammu and Kashmir, citing the steps taken by the government to increase safety in the region.
