Srinagar, June 29: A very bold initiative was taken by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha , first tenant of Raj Bhawan in the past 36 years , to reach out to families of terrorism in Kashmir, listened to their stories of pain which were suppressed all along.
While interacting with these families in Anantnag, which was once epicentre of terrorism in Kashmir, LG Sinha promised all issues of theirs will be addressed.
He posted on social media, “
Today met family members of Kashmiri Civilians who were brutally killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. For decades, they were marginalised & 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 & 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 & unacknowledged.
GoI is committed to bring voices of victims to the forefront & ensure justice. I know, for years truth was buried under pressure of terror ecosystem. Now, the families are exposing Pakistan & their supporters inside Kashmir.
Asked family members of terror victims, who are entitled for Govt jobs to submit their cases to concerned DCs. Assured them speedy process of appointment within a month. Assured financial assistance and 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.”
