LG Sinha’s Rallying Call
7/7/2025 11:20:48 PM
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s recent remarks, labelling Pakistan as a “terrorist country” bent on derailing Jammu and Kashmir’s development, underscore the persistent external threats facing the region even as it takes confident strides toward peace and progress.
His speech, delivered during the ‘Harbah Utsav’ celebration at Larkipora Aishmuqam, is both a warning and a rallying call to the people of J&K: remain united, identify disruptive elements, and protect the social fabric from those seeking to fracture it on communal lines.
Over the past five years, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a significant transformation. Infrastructure development, revival of tourism, investment inflows, and enhanced public services have marked the region’s progress. More importantly, there has been a perceptible shift toward peace, with local communities showing an increasing resolve to move beyond the shadows of conflict and terrorism. However, this forward momentum, as LG Sinha rightly pointed out, remains under constant threat from forces across the border that thrive on violence and division.
Pakistan’s decades-long strategy of sponsoring terrorism and promoting separatist sentiment in Kashmir is not new. What is new is the people’s growing resistance to this narrative. LG Sinha’s assertion that the true strength of the region lies in its unity is both timely and vital. Terror outfits and their sympathizers do not just attack soldiers and civilians — they attack the very vision of a peaceful, inclusive Jammu and Kashmir.
His appeal to the people to identify and isolate those acting at the behest of hostile forces is a crucial reminder that security cannot be the sole responsibility of the armed forces. While police and paramilitary units have indeed played an exemplary role in tackling terrorism, lasting peace demands grassroots vigilance. It requires each citizen to become a stakeholder in safeguarding communal harmony and national integrity.
Equally heartening was LG Sinha’s emphasis on communal unity. From peaceful Muharram processions to shared celebrations at the Mata Sidh Lakshmi Temple, the message was clear: the diverse communities of J&K can, and must, coexist with mutual respect. This collective celebration of faiths is the real counter-narrative to extremism. It is in such moments — where devotion transcends religion and becomes a symbol of shared cultural heritage — that the vision of a united Jammu and Kashmir is most vividly realized.
The Lieutenant Governor’s visit to the sacred temple and his appreciation for the administration’s efforts in facilitating pilgrimages reflect the administration’s commitment to inclusive governance. Events like ‘Harbah Utsav’ not only preserve the cultural traditions of the region but also foster social cohesion.
In these transformative times, the people of Jammu and Kashmir must stand shoulder to shoulder with the administration, rejecting division and embracing unity. By doing so, they not only defeat the designs of terrorist states but also carve out a future defined by peace, development, and dignity.
