The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, has described the targeted killings of civilians, mainly from the minority communities in the Valley (Kashmiri pandits, Sikhs, Dogras) by terrorists in the Valley as an attempt by subversive forces in the neighbourhood to create fear and destabilise peace.
In an interview, he said the government is determined to demolish the terror ecosystem, and that security forces have been given full freedom to carry out anti-terror operations and have intensified their crackdown against terror groups.
“Many people worry about the law and order situation, I want to tell you that the situation has changed a lot. Some elements are trying, but I want to assure you that after two years, terrorism will not be seen in Jammu and Kashmir, The government is working in this direction,” Sinha said.
His statements have come close on the heels of a major intel by security forces that around 38 terrorists from Pakistan are currently active in the Valley, against whom an operation is set to take place to eliminate the threats.
Earlier, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) nabbed two more people accused in the J&K terror conspiracy case. They were identified as Rashid Muzaffar Ganaie and Nasir Mir, both residents of Sopore.
It is an attempt to create fear, but the government is determined to demolish the terror ecosystem and fully committed to take all the steps that are required to do so.
