NEW DELHI: Jammu and KashmirLieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said “our neighbouring country” — an obvious reference to Pakistan — and some terrorist elements based in the J&K were trying to disrupt the Union territory’s progress from one where three decades is terrorism had destroyed the local youths’ aspirations, to one with a fear-free environment and a safe, supportive and inclusive system for youths to realise their dreams.“We must be alert against such ecosystem and work together to foil their efforts,” he advised while addressing the valedictory function of Islamic University of Science and Technology’s foundation day in Srinagar.Sinha said the young professionals of J&K are finally fulfilling their dreams and aspirations, thanks to the past 5-6 years of tireless, dedicated work and many sacrifices of the J&K police, Army, intelligence agencies and the security forces.“Jammu Kashmir has created its new destiny, a new identity and woven new dreams. This must be protected at all costs and those trying to shatter the dreams of our youth must be strictly dealt with,” the LG said. Later, while inaugurating the International Film Festival in Srinagar, Sinha exhorted the film-makers to come up with films that narrate the ordeal of terror victims, expose the ringleaders of terror ecosystem and showcase the transformation after August 2019. He said people must expose the enemies of peace by providing information about them to the police and security agencies, so that the entire terror ecosystem hiding behind cover of the society is neutralised and a befitting reply given to evil intentions of the neighbouring country.“Society must come together to guard this peace, progress, joy and renewed hope,” said the LG seeking the cooperation of all sections of the public.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.
