Violence free DDC polls
1/27/2021 11:23:09 PM
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha in his message on 72nd Republic Day listed many of the achievements of the government since J&K’s transition into a Union Territory, but he described holding of violence free District Development Council polls as the biggest feat of his administration.
The DDC polls held in November and December months last year were conducted smoothly as the Pakistan stooges, who used to call for a poll boycott every time couldn’t utter a word. Giving a boycott call was out of question. The militants who used to enforce the writ of separatists are running for their lives as the security forces have tightened their noose around them.
The holding of violence free DDC polls in J&K is an indication that things are changing fast and the ground situation is improving. Separatists, who called shots for the past three decades have been cut to size. A handful of people who were instrumental in orchestrating trouble are behind the bars and the ones who have not been detained have gone into oblivion to save their skins.
Investigating agencies choking the funding channels has hit the Pak agents hard as the money which they used to get has stopped flowing. The proactive approach of the Centre and a crackdown on the separatists has turned the tables on the neighboring country and its agents, who used to disrupt life in the Valley, by funding anti-national activities.
People coming out to vote in large numbers during the recently held DDC polls in Kashmir proved it beyond doubt that the fear of gun is disappearing fast. People by reposing faith on democratic institutions have sent a message that they are no more interested in separatists and their brand of politics. They want to live a peaceful life and want to prosper.
Since the day LG Sinha has taken over the reins of Jammu and Kashmir, he has stood behind the security forces. His instructions have been clear “don’t harass innocents but don’t spare culprits.”
Just within a span of one-and-a-half-year change is visible. Militants and separatists are finding it hard to even make their presence felt. Calling shots and enforcing their writ is out of the question. The violence free DDC polls have set a benchmark lot more will follow as new dawn has already broken out in J&K. And people are keen to adapt to the change.
