| His visit unnerves secessionist elements | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, June 27: Union Home Minister Amit Shah's two day visit to Kashmir has unnerved the separatists and militants who has sent a stern warning to anti-nationals.
During his two-day visit to the state of JK on Wednesday and Thursday, the Home Minister held a number of meetings with officials to assess the security scenario in the state, review preparations for the Shri Amarnathji Yatra and provide good governance in the state.
The security agencies gave a detailed briefing on the security scenario in the state, the results of the last one year's efforts in containing militancy and their future plans.
However, Shah in his strong words has sent a stern message that anti-national activities won't be tolerated.
The Union Home Minister while appreciating the significant improvement in all the parameters relating to the security situation directed that there should be zero tolerance towards militancy and militants. "There should be continued strict action against militancy funding and the rule of law should be enforced," he has said.
Despite that, the separatists did not react to Home Minister's statement neither even called for shutdown which had become a routine during any Union Minister's visit to the valley.
"There are clear indications that separatists are unnerved with his visit. They preferred even not to issue a statement," a source said.
Amit Shah has told the security agencies that secessionist activities won't be tolerated.
Shah specifically drew attention of the forces towards anti-sabotage as well as anti-subversion drills and the access control procedures.
The Home Minister has praised the work of Jammu and Kashmir Police in countering terrorism. "He directed that state government should commemorate the martyrdom of its policemen in their home towns/villages in an appropriate manner each year. Prominent public places should also be named after martyrdom policemen," he has said.
Earlier on Thursday, Shah visited the home of slain inspector JK police, Arshad Khan and consoled his bereaved family. He handed over an appointment letter to his wife for a job in the state government.
The Home Minister has laid emphasis that there should be no laxity and strict enforcement of the SOPs should be ensured. "Senior officers should personally supervise the arrangements. Forces should ensure best possible optimum use of latest technologies and the gadgets not only for the security of the Yatra but also to facilitate the movement of the devotees and the tourists," he has directed. |
