Jammu, June 6: Reiterating the commitment of the government to eradicate terrorism, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said that some forces sitting across the border were trying to export bloodshed and destruction in Jammu and Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor, however, observed that terrorism was in its last leg and a sustainable people will be established in J&K with the help of the people. Earlier on Sunday, he urged people to isolate terror elements to promote peace and tranquility in the Union Territory. He said that the Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing unique pollution in the form of terrorism. He urged the people of J&K to isolate terror elements to promote peace. "In J&K we are witnessing another kind of pollution-terrorism, exported by our neighboring country and it is threatening our social harmony", he said. “Terrorists are targeting innocent men, women, and even children. Society must speak up now, communities must come together as one entity to fight this menace", the Lt Governor said. In an informal chat with media persons today after inaugurating several projects under the smart city project, Sinha said the administration and the security forces were fully prepared and will not let those elements succeed. “People of Kashmir understand and many, including religious preachers, have openly condemned such acts of violence. When a lamp is about to go off, its flare flares more. Terrorism is in its last leg, but they are trying for the return of those days when terrorism was at its peak. The administration and the security forces are preparing with their full might to deal with it,” Sinha said. He said a huge change has taken place in the mindset of the people in Jammu and Kashmir. “Some elements across are constantly trying to disturb peace because it does not favour them that there is a huge influx of tourists into the Valley and the economy is growing. The people here have to understand this, and I feel our strategy will succeed,” the LG said. |
