Srinagar, April 25 (UNI) The Army organised a meeting with local citizens hailing from various parts of the valley at Old Air Field, Srinagar, a Defence Spokesman in Srinagar said.
The meeting was held under the aegis of Headquarter Army’s Victor Force and it was chaired by General Officer Commanding, Chinar Corps Lt Gen DP Pandey. The meeting was also attended by General Officers Commanding Victor Force, Kilo Force and 31 Sub Area.
The event saw an overwhelming response of the citizens from North and South Kashmir, the spokesman said.
On this occasion, a book titled “House of Terror” was released, which is the biography of Anwar alias Umar.
“The book brings out the trials and tribulations of his journey from a terrorist to an Ikhwan ( pro India militant group) . The book highlights the process of radicalisation of youth by Pakistan and its hybrid terrorists and OGWs in Kashmir, since 1980,” the spokesman said. “It also busts the myth of Pakistan’s ‘Jagmohan Theory’ about genocide and exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. It narrates the entire process of how the youth were sent to POJK/ Pakistan and Afghanistan for indoctrination, training and equipping as jihadis for Pakistan’s war against India using Kashmiris and Kashmir.”
The GOC Chinar Corps expressed Indian Army’s unconditional support and gratitude towards the citizens and assured all-out efforts towards redressal of issues projected by them. The evening concluded with the Iftar Party, followed by Namaz.
Everyone attending the meeting expressed their sense of satisfaction over the Army’s efforts towards reaching out to them and welcomed such initiatives in the future too, added the spokesman.
