Srinagar: Calling terrorism a curse for peace and development, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said Pakistan has been making malicious attempts to instigate the Indian youth but a befitting reply would be given to those who mislead the youngsters through proxy war.
He was speaking on the eve of the 75th Independence Day. The neighbouring country, which does not care for its own people, has been making malicious attempts to instigate some of our youth, Sinha said in his address. By misguiding the youth from the path of peace and progress, inimical forces are denying them the life of peace and dignity on this pious soil, he said. Referring to the Centre’s decision to revoke the special status of J-K, Sinha had said in 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had marked the beginning of a new era for Jammu and Kashmir. Carrying forward the four resolutions of the 75th year of independence, namely, power of public participation, resolve of establishing a new Jammu and Kashmir, providing equal opportunities to all and technological development, we along with the youth of the UT can transform the entire Jammu and Kashmir, he added. He announced that the administration has decided that various places and institutions will be christened in the memory of freedom fighters, brave soldiers and personalities from different fields who have made invaluable contribution in the progress of Jammu and Kashmir. Sinha said it is our goal to make J&K synonymous with success.
