L-G Manoj Sinha “J&K Suffered For 30 yrs But Terror Ecosystem Now Isolated”

JAMMU AND Kashmir suffered Pakistan-sponsored terrorism for almost three decades but the terror ecosystem has now been isolated because of the Centre’s development schemes, said Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Sinha Tuesday, addressing delegates at the G20 tourism working group meeting in Srinagar.

“For almost 30 years, this land of peaceful co-existence of almost all religious sects had to suffer state-sponsored terrorism by our neighbouring country,” he said in his inaugural address. “However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, through development schemes that empower masses and the Union Territory’s effective administration, isolated the terror ecosystem, which thrived with support from across the border.”

“J&K is witnessing a new era that has opened limitless possibilities of growth and peace. Now even foreign investments are coming into J&K, green shoots of better times people are anxiously looking up to,” Sinha said.

The L-G also said that “injustice, exploitation and discrimination, which several sections of society faced for seven long decades owing to circumstances that evolved mostly because of orchestration from abroad, has been completely eliminated”.

“We are ensuring social equality and equal economic opportunity to all citizens, which is enabling them to contribute to nation building,” he said.

Later, during an interaction with reporters at Raj Bhavan, Sinha said J&K is now capable and ready to host international events of any level although “international summits and meetings are held at the Centre’s prerogative”.
