JAMMU DEC 11 : Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday warned that remnants of the “dying terror ecosystem” are trying to peddle misinformation and anti-national narratives, and asserted that such elements will face stringent legal action.
Sinha said that those linked to terrorism and separatism, along with their backers, are being tracked and punished under the country’s legal framework, rather than being accommodated in government posts. He stressed that anyone stoking separatism or threatening national unity would be dealt with firmly in accordance with law.
The LG made these remarks while distributing appointment letters in Jammu to 41 next of kin of terrorism victims. He also handed letters to 22 candidates given age relaxation and to 19 wards of police martyrs under compassionate appointment rules and the Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme.
Sinha said the revocation of Article 370 has brought a “dynamic change” to Jammu and Kashmir, ending what he termed an era of misgovernance. According to him, peace has been “established, not bought,” and those once shielded within the system are now being identified and given the “harshest punishment” for their actions.
Reiterating that the administration will act against anyone fuelling separatism, he urged all sections of society to join what he described as the “Mahayagya” of development in the Union Territory. He recalled that on July 28, appointment letters were also issued to 94 next of kin of terror victims from the Jammu division, describing these measures as steps to provide relief and dignity to affected families.
