“The message is loud and clear: terrorism will not be allowed to dictate the future of Jammu Kashmir. The zero-tolerance policy of the union government has given our security forces the freedom, resources and resolve to act decisively against terror networks and their perpetrators,” Suri said. He paid rich tribute to the courage and professionalism of the security forces, who conducted the operation despite difficult terrain, adverse weather and poor visibility.
Raman Suri said that Jammu Kashmir today stands at an important turning point, with the focus increasingly shifting from terrorism and disruption to development, connectivity, tourism, investment, employment and opportunities for the youth. “The people of Jammu Kashmir want peace and progress, and that is precisely the direction in which the region is moving. every attempt to push the Union Territory (UT) backwards will be firmly confronted,” he said.
He further said that the fight against terrorism and the development agenda must move together. “While our brave security personnel are protecting the peace on the ground, the union government is simultaneously pushing forward major infrastructure and development projects. This combination of security, stability and development is creating a new environment of confidence across Jammu Kashmir,” the BJP leader said.
