Amid the surge in attacks in the Jammu region, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said Pakistan’s unholy intentions won’t be allowed to succeed in Jammu and Kashmir.
He asserted that they would eliminate the terrorists and root out terrorism and its supporters from J&K.
Without naming Pakistan, LG said the neighbouring nation is trying to spread terrorism in the Jammu region.
“Some people have problem with the transformation (of Jammu and Kashmir). And some are frustrated. Particularly, our neighbouring nation, which is known as the fountainhead of terrorism is trying to spread terrorism in the Jammu region. However, I want to say that the unholy intentions won’t be allowed to succeed,” Sinha said while addressing the launch of Hausla 2.0 and the Start-ups portal at Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar.
Sinha said that the people of Jammu have always fought terrorism strongly.
” I also have full faith in our brave soldiers. Very soon the way we eliminated terrorist commanders (in Kashmir) similarly our security forces will be soon successful so that J&K prospers,” he said.
The Lt Governor called upon the people to stand united in the fight against the divisive forces trying to disturb peace in the Jammu region.
“The administration and our security forces will never allow the adversary’s nefarious design to succeed. We will eliminate the terrorists and root out terrorism and its supporters from J&K,” he said.
