India committed to neutralize terrorists: Lt Governor

Uri, May 9: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership India is committed to neutralize terrorists and the message is clear that no one will be allowed to inflict injuries on Indian citizens.
Lt Governor Manoj Sinha visited Uri and while interacting with soldiers stationed near the Line of Control (LoC) said, “The nation under the leadership of PM Modi has vowed to neutralize terrorists and my message is clear–if you inflict injury on any Indian citizen, we will hunt you down.”
“I want to tell the people of Union Territory of Jammu Kashmir that peace is foundation of prosperity and our men in uniform will ensure that Jammu Kashmir and Bharat is peaceful and prosperous,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor asked them: “How is the Josh?” His question met with an energetic “High, Saheb!” from the troops, echoing the mood of soldiers’ readiness to destroy the enemy.
The Lieutenant Governor said, “Our soldiers have just one dream and one resolve– Destroy the enemy and its capability to attack Bharat and to safeguard our citizens and Bharat’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. I am seeing determination in your eyes and I want to tell the people across the country that they are in safe hands. Entire nation is drawing inspiration from your valour. May prabhu Shri Ram give you the strength to decimate the enemy.”
The Lieutenant Governor said the nation has always been proud of the armed forces and whenever country faced any crisis, our soldiers have boosted the pride of Mother India by making the supreme sacrifice.
“Your history is full of valour and courage. India always advocated for peace. After brutal massacre of our citizens at Pahalgam, the main objective was to destroy the terrorist hideouts. “Operation Sindoor” avenged Pahalgam terror attack by destroying terror factories inside Pakistan. But, the enemy is targeting our military establishment and our citizens. We are giving them a befitting reply,” the Lieutenant Governor told the soldiers.
The Lieutenant Governor said that due to courage and determination of our soldiers, Jammu Kashmir and the country sleeps peacefully.
“If someone tries to disturb our peace again and again then they will be taught such a lesson that their next 10 generations will remember it. The entire 140 crore Indians are standing strong with our soldiers. I pray to God to give you strength so that you can once again write the saga of India’s bravery,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He said that attempts were made by Pakistan, but the Indian armed forces have already foiled all their nefarious designs.
“J&K administration is ensuring that people here don’t face any inconvenience. I went to villages in the border areas that suffered losses. The injured and the families of those who died have been given ex-gratia,” he said.
He added that the loss is being ascertained, and there is a need to construct new bunkers in these areas. “In the coming days, new bunkers will be constructed,” he said. (KNO)
