Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said that right time has come to strike the last nail in the coffin of terrorism in the union territory.
The LG was speaking at a function at SKICC in Srinagar where he laid the foundation stone of 25 DDC, BDC buildings and inaugurated 1,000 amrit sarovars across the Union territory.
Addressing the gathering, Sinha said, “Some people, on the behest of the neighbouring country, are trying to create disturbance in Jammu and Kashmir. The neighbouring country which itself is living in misery, cannot do any good to the people of J-K.”
“We have lost many innocent lives, now it has to stop. The right time has come to strike the last nail in the coffin of terrorism and its ecosystem. Your younger generation should not face the hardships that their forefathers went through. They must make the nation proud,” he said.
He further said that it is “our sacred obligation to defend every inch of motherland and even if we have to sacrifice everything, we shall be ready”.
Talking about the abrogation of Article 370, Sinha said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi bestowed the UT with a gift of a new dawn of development and prosperity in August 2019.
“For 70 years, the socio-economic system of Jammu and Kashmir was facing serious crisis and in the last three years, the union territory has achieved great strides in the direction of reducing the gap between villages and cities that had only widened in the last seven decades,” the Lt Governor said.
