JAMMU, June 3: Chief spokesperson of Jammu & Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party Sunil Sethi today said that the unabated targeted killings in J&K particularly in Kashmir region in recent past is a cause of serious concern.
He said despite the fact the separatist activities have been largely curtailed, the J&K is seeing a new wave of terrorism, wherein the people are being selectively targeted and killed to spread the fear and terrorism.
“With their good efforts, security agencies and administration were successful in gaining the confidence of the masses and a lot of investment came from outside in view of improved law and order situation but however of late all the good efforts made by the Government are coming under serious question mark because of increased in number of killings of civilians particularly belonging to minority community in Kashmir,” he added.
Sethi said that it is another effort from the terrorists to engineer another migration from Kashmir and to defeat the benefits of the post Article 370 changes going to the masses. He said the Government is required to be more vigilant and more firm in dealing with the new wave terrorism as the battle against the terrorism is at the last phase and it has to be won at all cost and contingencies.
The BJP leader said that the members of the minority community who are working in Kashmir in employment or otherwise should be provided all security in order to ensure their safety. Wherever needed they should be kept in safe and secure zones and the administration should make all efforts to identify the vulnerable people serving in Kashmir valley and to take concern of their safety & security and priority.
