Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has accused Pakistan of pushing highly trained foreign terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir with the intention of destabilizing the region’s security. He expressed confidence in security forces’ ability to foil these plans and asserted that a significant change in the situation is expected within the next three months.
Sinha’s statements come amidst a recent surge in terror incidents in the Jammu region, a region previously known for its peaceful atmosphere. He acknowledged the recent attacks on an IAF convoy, a pilgrim bus, and the killing of soldiers in Kathua, highlighting the evolving security threat.
He pointed out that Pakistan, the birthplace of terrorism, continues its efforts to destabilize the region, despite its own internal struggles. Sinha attributed this behavior to Pakistan’s inability to accept its defeat in past wars with India and its desire to divert attention from its domestic issues.
He further emphasized that despite the recent rise in terror incidents, security forces have formulated a comprehensive strategy and are actively redeploying troops to counter this threat. Sinha expressed confidence in the Army, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police’s capabilities to handle the situation effectively.
He acknowledged the infiltration of highly trained foreign militants, including those trained by the Pakistan Army’s Special Service Group (SSG), into the region, but declined to reveal specific details. He assured that intelligence agencies have sufficient information and are implementing strategies to address this threat.
Sinha also pointed to the significant decrease in local recruitment by terror groups and the elimination of top commanders as positive indicators of improvement in the security situation. He attributed the recent increase in terror incidents to Pakistan’s attempt to worsen the situation by infiltrating trained terrorists.
He remains confident in the region’s ability to maintain peace and security and believes that the concerted efforts of security forces will lead to a significant improvement in the situation within the next three months.
