SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Saturday claimed the government will strike the last nail in the coffin of terrorism in the union territory in one year.
He made these remarks while speaking here at a function at SKICC where he laid the foundation stone of 25 DDC, BDC buildings and inaugurated 1000 amrit sarovars across the Union territory.
The Lt Governor said it is “our sacred obligation to defend every inch of motherland and even if we have to sacrifice everything, we shall be ready”.
“Some people, on behest of the neighbouring country, are trying to create disturbance in J&K. The neighbouring country which itself is living in misery, can’t do any good to the people of J&K,” he said.
“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 added.
Sinha also spoke about the thousands of youths in Tral Pulwama who paid homage to freedom fighters and reverberated the sky with slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.
He said in August 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi bestowed the Union territory with a gift of new dawn of development and prosperity. “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.” (PTI)
