All India Goldsmiths Association national president Kashmir Singh Rajput condemned gangsters targeting goldsmiths, traders, shopkeepers, warning govt inaction emboldens criminals amid lawlessness crisis.
Alarming Trends
Criminals openly extort cash, force shop closures, eliminate resistors; post-crime justice fails—arrests rare, stolen gold/silver/cash never returned to victims despite seizures.
Urgent Demands
Declare goldsmiths’ safety national issue; issue gun licenses district-wide, permanent police posts in sensitive markets, crackdown on organized crime sans bias—7-member team to meet Home Minister Amit Shah soon, nationwide protests if ignored.
