Srinagar, Apr 10: Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that no one will be allowed to conspire to spread terror in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a conversation with a national news channel, Shah, said, “We will not let anyone conspire to spread terror in J&K. If anyone tries such things, they will be punished.”
The Union Home Minister maintained that national security is a top priority for the Centre and its stand on security and separatism is firm. “We will not compromise, nor will we allow anyone else to do it,” he added.
Referring to his recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Shah said, “Meeting with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was cordial and focused on development and governance. We have always supported regional governments equally, without any bias.”
He reiterated that the Centre is committed to working with J&K’s elected leadership.
Asked whether a recent terror incident in Kathua was caused by Pakistan-backed infiltration, Shah said, “Infiltration is, of course, backed by Pakistan and not someone else like Russia. And this has been happening for years. But our soldiers and the government are both alert. We will punish them if they try.”
Pertinently, the Union Home Minister visited J&K for 3-days earlier this week. He met top government officials, political leaders, and security brass during his visit.
He assessed the current security situation in the Union Territory and devised the future course of action. (KNO)
