Srinagar, April 4: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Sunday said the Union Territory is moving ahead with a new vision that has no place for terrorism and its supporters.
“Jammu and Kashmir is moving ahead with a new vision and there is no place for terrorism…. There is a need to take inspiration from the bravehearts and martyrs and their families.
Also, there is a need to take a vow that terrorists and their supporters will not be forgiven in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said. The LG honoured the next of kin of security personnel killed in the line of duty at a programme organised by the Global Strategic Policy Foundation Pune (GSPFP), an NGO, at the SKICC here.
He was the chief guest on the occasion, while Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan presided over the function.
The LG saluted all the police and Army personnel who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty and said the government is working on a new educational policy to incorporate the contributions made by these heroes in the school curriculum.
He also paid tributes to the security personnel who were killed in Chhattisgarh fighting Maoists.
The LG paid glowing tributes to the sacrifices of security personnel and civilians in protecting the country’s territorial integrity and fighting terrorism in the Union Territory.
“I bow to the martyrs who displayed indomitable courage and bravery while protecting the dignity of the nation and salute the sacrifices and patience of the family members of our gallant security personnel,” he said.
Sinha urged the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially youngsters, to discharge their duties with full responsibility to create a peaceful society and pay a befitting tribute to the sacrifices of the security personnel. “Let us all tread the path of peace and fulfil our martyrs’ dream of a peaceful, prosperous and developed Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
