<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSRINAGAR: A retired Army officer has hit out at the female tourist whose \u201cWe are Gen-Z and we won\u2019t tolerate this nonsense\u201d rant at a Kargil checkpoint went viral, saying her behaviour had unfairly portrayed the younger generation and created a divide with Kashmiris.Retired Lt General DP Pandey, who served as the commander of the Kashmir-based 15 Corps, said the incident had caused \u201cdamage\u201d that people should know about.\u201cDon\u2019t want to shame a lady who created scene in Ladakh. She did few damages that our country should know,\u201d Pandey said in a post on X.Taking a swipe at the tourist\u2019s complaint about security personnel, Pandey said the restrictions were a consequence of the security situation in the region and were not something that the government or security forces enjoyed imposing.<\/p>\n Pandey went a step further, saying he would be willing to crowdfund a month\u2019s salary for the tourist to serve in Siachen or at a similar location where she could deal with the challenges faced by security personnel.\u201cWould love to crowd fund a month salary for her to serve in Siachen or at the place she created scene dealing with people like her,\u201d he said.He also pointed out that serving and retired personnel themselves pay taxes and contribute to the system.\u201cWe, and even after retirement, are taxed. In fact first taxed and then pay comes,\u201d Pandey said.<\/p>\n Pandey criticised the tourist for invoking Gen Z while confronting security personnel.He said her conduct had negatively portrayed the generation, despite his experience of meeting young people who were \u201cpatient, polite, respectful, and well behaved\u201d.\u201cShe has let down and framed Gen Z quite negatively,\u201d he said.Pandey also defended the security personnel who handled the confrontation, saying the woman should acknowledge the \u201cdecent manner\u201d in which the personnel and their superior dealt with her.He further objected to what he described as an attempt to create a divide with Kashmiris, stressing that they are \u201cequal partner and citizens of India\u201d and also have to undergo security checks.<\/p>\n The controversy erupted after a video showed the tourist arguing with security personnel at the Minimarg checkpoint in Kargil and objecting to restrictions on movement.The incident took place on July 25, when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army chief General Dhiraj Seth were in the region for events linked to Kargil Vijay Diwas.Police sources said traffic along the Zojila-Gumri route was restricted to facilitate their movement after bad weather forced the two officials to travel by helicopter to Gumri and then proceed towards Kargil by road.Tourists were allowed to proceed after the VIP movement passed through the area. Police also said no case was registered against the woman.The video subsequently went viral, with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also reacting to the tourist\u2019s \u201cWe are Gen Z\u201d remark. He said the phrase had become the new version of \u201cjaante nahin ho mera baap kaun hai\u201d when used as a threat over a perceived affront.<\/div>\n A viral video shows a tourist arguing with
