Let the 1990s not be repeated: Deputy Governor of Jammu and Kashmir

- 'Local terrorists, targeting soft targets at the behest of their landlords (Pak.) Will be confronted'

Amid reports of certain individuals being shot dead in Kashmir, the state's vice-governor Manoj Sinha refuted reports of a mass exodus of Pandits from the Kashmir Valley, assuring that the situation would not be allowed to recur. We are determined to dismantle that terror network.

In an exclusive interview with reporters, Mr. Sinha said that the recent fierce efforts by the terrorists show that they do not want to allow peace in the valley at any cost as they have been told by their 'sethos' across the border, He should focus only on plain and soft markings. So that the feeling of India spreads there. Especially the minority of the state (Hindus-Sikhs) remain fearful. They want to create a situation like 120.

With this, Manoj Sinha said, we will not allow that situation to happen. That is what I want to assure the people of this Union Territory. "I have met the representatives of the minority community and I have assured them of strengthening their security. It is our national duty to protect the minorities and we are in the process of doing so," said Mr Singh, who returned to Srinagar on Monday.

While acknowledging the fact that some families have migrated from the Kashmir Valley, the state's Lieutenant Governor (Deputy Governor) Manoj Sinha said, "Some families have left the valley but most of them are still here." And they are adequately assured of safety.

Social media, on the other hand, is the biggest problem in spreading rumors. They spread fear blindly but the reality is very different from the propaganda they spread. He also denied reports that the attacks were carried out by terrorists due to intelligence failure.
