Will not rest till we end proxy war of neighboring country: J&K LG Manoj Sinha

J&K Lieutenant Governor urges locals to join fight against terrorism, pledges to end proxy war of neighboring country.

J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, while addressing the Republic Day function in Jammu on January 26, urged locals to join the fight against terrorism and pledged to end the proxy war of the neighboring country.

“For sustainable development, our society has to be united, courageous and disciplined to fight against those who are promoting, justifying or condoning terrorism. We need to foil the efforts of the terror ecosystem which is trying to draw sustenance and support from individuals or groups. We must isolate such elements who are using double standards to justify terror acts,” Mr. Sinha said.

Without naming Pakistan, the J&K LG said, “We will not rest until we strike the last nail in the coffin of the terror ecosystem and the proxy war of the neighboring country.”

Hundreds of locals, including government employees, attended the Republic Day functions in Srinagar and Jammu amid tight security arrangements. The day passed off peacefully across the Kashmir valley. There were no restrictions or internet blockade on the occasion in Kashmir.

Speaking in Jammu, Mr. Sinha said new hopes have taken roots in urban and rural areas of J&K. “Our sincere efforts are focused towards fulfilling the aspirations of people. Rapid socio-economic development tells the tale of a long journey and our moments of accomplishments. Today, J&K is full of self-confidence and we are determined to fulfill the expectations of the common man,” the L-G said.

Referring to the years since Article 370 was abrogated in 2019, the LG said, “Over a period of just four years, overcoming countless challenges, we have built a new J&K standing tall and self-reliant.”

He said the first resolution for the year 2024 is to lay the foundation of a new society for the new generation, which is energized with new skills, modern knowledge and a plethora of resources, together contributing in rapid progress of the country.
