Expose people wearing masks, speak up against ones committing atrocities: LG Sinha

Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, June 29: The Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today met the family members of Kashmiri Civilians killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists in the last 3-decades. It’s a historic step to finally recognize and honour the thousands of innocent civilians in Kashmir who were brutally killed by Pakistani terrorists. Lieutenant Governor bowed to the family members and paid tributes to the common Kashmiri citizens who fell victim to the bullets of Pakistani terrorists.
Save Youth, Save Future Foundation, a non-profit organisation is playing a crucial role in documenting the families of terrorism victims. Over 40,000 people, including civilians, security personnel, and even children, have lost their lives to terrorism since 1990. In majority of cases, FIRs were not filed in Common Kashmiris’ killing by terrorists.
The Lieutenant Governor said Government of India launched this initiative to enable families affected by terrorism to share their pain and expose the conspiracies of the terror ecosystem.
“For decades, these families were marginalised and their voices were not heard. Justice was denied. Their pain was ignored, their stories untold, and the truth deliberately suppressed. Hundreds of families have gained strength and support to say their loved ones were killed by Pakistani terrorists. It’s shocking, before 2019 terrorists’ funeral processions were allowed while thousands of common Kashmiris killed by terrorists, remained forgotten and unacknowledged,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor asked the family members of terror victims who are entitled for Government jobs to submit their cases to concerned Deputy Commissioners. He assured them speedy process of appointment within a month and financial assistance, hand-holding to family members who want to start their own business venture.
“In cases where FIRs were not registered, directions will be given to register FIRs in those cases. Action will also be taken to free the land and property of terror victims’ families encroached by terrorist sympathisers or separatist elements,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that Government of India and security apparatus is committed to bring voices of victims to the forefront and ensure justice.
“I know, for years truth was buried under pressure of terror ecosystem. Now, the families are exposing Pakistan and their supporters inside Kashmir. It will be ensured that the real culprits, whether they are in Jammu and Kashmir or hiding in Pakistan, are given the harshest punishment,” the Lieutenant Governor observed.
The Lieutenant Governor further said: “We must expose the people wearing masks in the society. We must break the society’s silence and must speak up against those committing atrocities”.
The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that while our country is progressing by leaps and bounds day by day, the neighbouring country, known as the global terror hub and breeding ground for terrorists, is yearning for bread.
“Today Pakistan is counted as the biggest beggar in the world and our country has become the fourth largest economy in the world. While our youth today are making a name for themselves in innovation and entrepreneurship, Pakistan is sending its youth to terror training camps. It aims to kill common Kashmiris. But, we have drawn a new line with Operation Sindoor and we will give a befitting response to any misadventure by the enemy,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He said under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi, all efforts are being made to ensure accelerated inclusive development and security officials are working to ensure that these families receive the justice, recognition, and support they deserve after years of suffering in silence.
“I also assure all the families affected by Pakistan-sponsored terrorism that your culprits will not be spared,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
More than 80 terror victim families interacted with the Lieutenant Governor and exposed the terrorists and their backers. These families from South Kashmir have been enduring tremendous hardships after losing their family members in barbaric terror acts perpetrated by terror outfits.
During the interaction, these families countered decades of false propaganda and Pakistan’s role in fuelling terrorism in Kashmir valley. They said a fake and dangerous narrative was promoted, one that portrayed Pakistani terrorists as victims and Indian security forces as aggressors but real victims, common Kashmiris’ killed by Pakistan terrorists were ignored and neglected due to influence of separatist outfits and the ecosystem.
