Recently in Jammu BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma Has claimed that this year’s Amarnath Yatra can break the records of all the previous years. He says that the trust of devotees, security arrangements and unwavering faith in Baba Barfani can make this journey historic.
BJP’s big claim regarding Amarnath Yatra 2026:
Amarnath Yatra becomes the biggest center of faith for millions of Shiva devotees every year. This time, with the commencement of the Yatra, the huge crowd of devotees and enthusiasm in Jammu has given positive signals at both political and administrative levels.
BJP’s leader of opposition in Jammu, Sunil Sharma, while talking to the media, said that this time more enthusiasm is being seen among the devotees regarding Amarnath Yatra than before. According to him, the huge crowd in Tawi Maha Aarti organized on Wednesday is an indication that devotees coming from all over the country are arriving with full enthusiasm to have the darshan of Baba Barfani.
He expressed confidence that the number of devotees in Amarnath Yatra 2026 can leave behind all the records of previous years.
“There is no fear in the minds of devotees, only faith”:
Sunil Sharma said that there is no fear or feeling of insecurity in the minds of the devotees participating in the yatra. He says that people have full faith in the preparedness of Indian security forces and administration.
He said that the security agencies deployed on the Yatra route are continuously monitoring and the safety of the devotees is the top priority. Due to this belief, a large number of devotees from different states of the country are coming to see Baba Amarnath.
Faith of devotees did not break even after Pahalgam attack:
The BJP leader says that despite the recent security challenges, the faith of the devotees remains as strong as before. According to him, instead of being afraid of any incident, people are giving priority to their devotion towards Lord Bholenath.
He claimed that this time the devotees participating in the yatra are moving ahead with full confidence and positive atmosphere. This is the reason why there is widespread enthusiasm regarding the journey.
Why is Amarnath Yatra so special?
Amarnath Yatra is not just a religious journey but is considered a symbol of deep faith of crores of Hindu devotees. Himalinga, which is naturally formed in the sacred cave situated amidst the high Himalayan ranges of Jammu and Kashmir, is considered to be the form of Lord Shiva.
Every year, despite challenges like difficult mountain roads, changing weather and altitude, lakhs of devotees come to see Baba Barfani. This is the reason why it is counted among the most difficult and most important religious journeys in the country.
Weather, geography and security are the biggest challenges:
Sunil Sharma also admitted that conducting Amarnath Yatra is not easy. He said that sudden changes in weather, inaccessible roads at high altitude and security related challenges always remain during the journey.
Despite this, the administration, security forces and related agencies are continuously working together to make the journey safe and orderly. Devotees are also advised to follow health advisories, weather information and guidelines issued by the administration before the journey.
Will all the records be broken this time?
At present the Yatra is in its initial stage, hence the final number of devotees will be clear only after the Yatra is over. However, looking at the initial enthusiasm, large number of passengers arriving and administrative preparations, this time a positive atmosphere is definitely visible regarding the yatra.
If the weather remains favorable in the coming days and the Yatra progresses smoothly, then a significant increase in the number of devotees may be seen. But the claim of breaking the record will be certified only after the release of official figures.
