\u2018Narratives cause big damage, if our statements resemble what is written on TRF social media it is dangerous<\/strong>\u2019<\/p>\n

Srinagar, Sep 27: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said that terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is \u201con its last legs,\u201d pointing out that only one local youth has joined a terror outfit so far this year<\/p>\n

Addressing a gathering of Pahari Tribal Community here, LG Sinha, according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, \u201cJ&K has suffered from terrorism for a long time. Security forces, the Army, police, and administration are doing their work, but as citizens of J&K, it is our responsibility to ensure that we don\u2019t indulge in any activity that leads to disruptions.\u201d<\/p>\n

LG Sinha reaffirmed that the situation on the ground has changed drastically and the days of large-scale violence are behind J&K. \u201cThe record-low recruitment into terrorist ranks reflects the faith of the youth in peace and progress,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He noted that stone pelting, once a major concern in the Valley, has \u201cbecome history.\u201d Stressing Pakistan\u2019s continued interference, he remarked, \u201cWe have such a neighbour who gets a stomach-ache every now and then. Instead of focusing on its own problems, Pakistan keeps meddling in our affairs,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cWhen Pakistan was formed, it attacked J&K and has lost four conventional wars. Pakistan knows very well that it cannot defeat Indian Army in the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The LG said that over the years, more than 40,000 people have lost their lives due to terrorism in the region. He cautioned people against falling prey to misleading propaganda. \u201cNarratives cause big damage. If our statements resemble what is written on the social media handle of The Resistance Front (TRF), it is dangerous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

*ABROGATION OF ARTICLE 370 IMPORTANT MILESTONE*<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LG Sinha underlined that major changes followed the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which he termed \u201can important milestone\u201d in J&K\u2019s history. \u201cAll laws implemented in the rest of the country were extended to J&K,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cChildren received the Right to Education, sanitation workers benefited, and key laws such as those for Dalits and the Minimum Wages Act were implemented here after 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The LG noted that steps like granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to the Pahari community, strengthening the Forest Rights Act, and launching Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas reflect the government\u2019s commitment to social and economic justice. \u201cNow equal rights are being given to you, and you will receive them \u2014 no one can stop you. What is your right will be given to you,\u201d he said, urging people to maintain unity and brotherhood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said, \u201cEmpowerment of tribal communities is the top priority of the Central Government. There is need for continuous efforts to ensure the development of the community who were provided Scheduled Tribe status by the Parliament last year as their prosperity is fundamentally linked to our inclusive growth goal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Responding to the demands put-forth by the representatives of the Pahari community, the Lieutenant Governor said it will be ensured that Pahari Ethnic Groups enjoy their rights as per the act passed by the Parliament.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor urged the tribal communities and all the sections of society to stand united against terrorism and actively counter extremist propaganda to safeguard peace and stability.<\/p>\n

*INDIA FASTEST-GROWING ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD*<\/p>\n

He also highlighted India\u2019s growing strength, stating that the country is now among the fastest-growing economies in the world. \u201cAfter independence, our growth rate remained low for a long time, but after the 1990s, momentum picked up. It is essential that the benefits reach everyone, and corruption, which creates many obstacles, must be eradicated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

LG Sinha further noted that terrorism and left-wing extremism have significantly declined across the country, particularly in the Northeast, and expressed confidence that Naxalism will soon be eliminated. \u201cJ&K has suffered for a long time, and its end is necessary,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
