No one will be allowed to disturb peace in Jammu and Kashmir. The disturbances of the past will not be repeated,” he said.
He confirmed that stringent action has been taken against organizations such as Hurriyat and Jamaat-e-Islami. “We are not only banning anti-national groups but also targeting individuals associated with them to prevent them from regrouping,” Sinha stated.
He said that employees involved in anti-national activities have been terminated, and security agencies have adopted a comprehensive “360-degree approach” to eliminate terrorism.
Earlier the focus was only on Kashmir, but now we are addressing attempts to disturb peace in Jammu as well. With increased deployment, peace will soon prevail in Jammu. The terrorists won’t get any support here,” he added.
