JAMMU, June 26: Lt Gen P.S Mehta (Retd), Military and Political Advisor, Sainik Samaaj Party and Principal Advisor United Democratic Alliance, in a meeting here today urged the Government for initiating strict measures against glorification of terrorists killed in operations.
“Such glorifications were openly vented during NC and PDP regimes for the last over three decades wherein JKP was ordered to hand over the bodies of slain terrorists to local clerics who in turn led massive gatherings where terrorist openly brandished guns and fired in air,” claimed General Mehta.
“This process was formalized to assuage emotional wave against the security forces and India as also to ensure an upper hand towards the so called Azadi ploy hatched by Pakistan and ISI,” the General maintained.
General Mehta said that terrorists are not freedom fighters but rouges brainwashed for evil designs.
He also called for strict actions wherein the government must ensure that no corpses of slain terrorists are handed over to anyone including their parents since they are not above law.
The General also said that the policy directions of double scholarship to the wards of slain terrorists by the “radicalized political parties NC and PDP” should be scrapped forthwith and such scholarships already granted must also be stopped immediately.
