Posted on 4th Jun 2022 by rohit kumar

Strict and precise steps will be taken to stop target killing in Jammu and Kashmir. Hindus will not be driven out of Kashmir Valley. Tight arrangements will be made for their security in the valley itself. The strategy prepared for this was discussed in detail in a high-level meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday. Shah directed the security agencies to take strict steps against the terrorists involved in incidents like target killings and the overground workers associated with them.

 

aim to end terrorism

 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah made it clear that eliminating terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and achieving the goal of zero cross-border infiltration is the priority of the government.

 

these giants are present

 

Amit Shah, along with Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, NSA Ajit Doval, RA chief Samant Goyal, and IB chief Arvind Shah attended the first high-level meeting held in the Home Ministry after incidents of targeting of Hindus in the Kashmir Valley for the past few days. Kumar, Army Chief General Manoj Pandey, Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla, and senior officials of various security agencies were present. This was Amit Shah's second high-level meeting on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir within two weeks.

 

Terrorists targeting soft targets

 

In the meeting, it was told by the security agencies that after failing to carry out major terrorist acts, terrorists are targeting soft targets in desperation and this work is being done by paying money to the youth. The agencies assured that in October last year they were successful in dealing with similar hybrid terrorists and this time also they would be successful in reining them in.

 

The mistake of 1990 will not be repeated

 

A senior Jammu and Kashmir official, who came to attend the meeting, rejected the demand for expulsion of Hindus from the Kashmir Valley because of the targeted killings. He said that at present around 6,000 Hindu employees have been shifted to safer places. But the mistake of 1990 to remove them completely from the Valley will not be repeated.

 

This time the conspiracy will not be successful

 

The purpose of target killing terrorists is also to force minority Hindus to come out of the valley by spreading fear, but this time their conspiracy will not be successful.

 

Things are improving rapidly in the Valley

 

According to the official, the situation in the Valley is improving rapidly and the terrorists and separatists are completely on the margins. For this, he cited the death of separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and the life sentence awarded to terrorist Yasin Malik. According to him, there was complete calm in the valley during the incidents of these two, whereas before this, the valley used to be disturbed for several days during the encounter of Burhan Wani and other incidents.

 

Example of change in an increasing number of tourists

 

A senior official of Jammu and Kashmir said that a record number of tourists have come to the Valley in the last two years, reflecting the changing environment here. According to him, more than 10 lakh tourists have come to the valley so far this year. Along with this, the film festival is also going to start in Srinagar on June 15, while all cinema halls were closed in the valley after the start of militancy.

 

no change in Amarnath yatra schedule

 

The official also made it clear that despite the latest developments, the annual Amarnath Yatra will start as per its schedule and there will be no change in it. He said that elaborate security arrangements have been made for the Amarnath Yatra.
