j-k-lg-asks-people-help-identify-supporters-of-terrorists

Post Delhi blast preceded by links of J&K doctors with the terror module, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Wednesday said  terrorism is the biggest threat to peace and development, as he called upon people to help security forces identify the elements supporting terror.

 

“Terrorism is the biggest threat to peace and development, and also weakens the brotherhood and unity among the public. It has devastated the youth of J&K for three decades,” he said.

 

Addressing a function at the Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) in the Awantipora area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, the LG also expressed condolences to the families of those killed in the Red Fort car blast on November 10.“I pay homage to the victims of the terror attack near Red Fort on November 10, and express sympathies with their families,” he said.

 

Sinha said it is a fact that terrorism is the biggest threat to peace and development and is its greatest enemy. “It not only spreads hate and violence among the people, but also weakens the brotherhood and unity among the public,” he added.Emphasising that terrorism has devastated the lives of the youth of J-K over the last three decades, the LG said, “Today, our youth are fulfilling their aspirations, but the neighbouring country and its supporters, the terror elements, cannot tolerate it. They want to kill your dreams through terror in J-K and the country,” he said.Calling for collective responsibility to destroy the terror ecosystem, Sinha said it is the duty of the public to identify such elements and inform the security forces.

 

The LG stressed that J-K has experienced significant peace in the last few years. “The people of J-K have tasted peace in the last five-six years, and the number of peace stakeholders in J-K has increased,” he added.“Today, our youth is fulfilling its dreams and aspirations, which is intolerable for the neighbouring country and some of its supporters,” Sinha said.

 

He further urged citizens to actively support security agencies, adding, “It is the duty of the public to inform the security forces about the unsocial elements in the state, so that peace and harmony can be safeguarded.”
