Retired Lt General DP Pandey, who commanded the 15 Corps in Kashmir, criticized a female tourist for her "We are Gen-Z and we won’t tolerate this nonsense" rant at a Kargil checkpoint. Pandey argued that the tourist's behavior unfairly painted the younger generation in a negative light and created a divide with Kashmiris. He stated that tourists were not free to move around without facing security checks and restrictions, which are necessary due to the region's volatile security situation.
Pandey even offered to crowd fund a month’s salary for the tourist to serve in Siachen or another challenging post, emphasizing that retired personnel also contribute to the system through taxes. He defended the security personnel involved in the confrontation, praising them for handling the situation "decently."
