| Do not fall prey to misleading data, cautions Brig Gupta | | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 22: Certain media houses in their quest to promote the narrative of status quo lobby that situation in Kashmir has worsened post abrogation of Article 370 are projecting misleading data to justify the narrative but the data is far from truth, lamented Brig (retd) Anil Gupta, Spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party in a press release issued here today.
The data is being attributed to home ministry officials while no such data is hosted on the official website of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The report reads, “The security situation in Kashmir Valley has not improved. Too many locals are still joining the ranks of terrorists despite the growing number of encounters, becoming a huge concern for security forces operating in Kashmir.”
The above unauthenticated statement is contrary to the statement of Director General of Police J&K made during a press conference held at Handwara in North Kashmir on August 20. In his press conference DGP had claimed that during the last seven months about 26 top terrorist commanders had been killed, the infiltration rate has decreased and recruitment of youngsters into militant ranks has come down, clarified Brig Gupta. The official figures given by JKP state that infiltration has come down by 50%, 50% decline in killing of security forces personnel and 73% reduction in law & order cases. Also it is claimed that the percentage of local recruitment fell to 5% during the period August – December 2019 and has remained less than 13% during the last seven and half months while the earlier average rate of local recruitment was more than 14%, stated Brig Gupta. By no stretch of imagination it can be construed as worsening security situation in Kashmir.
The motivated propaganda is unleashed by those who are interested in keeping the pot boiling in Kashmir for their own vested interests, he added.
He said the narrative also includes unemployment and lack of development as causes for the youth joining militancy. This is also fallacious propaganda. Unemployment is across the UT and not Valley specific. |
