Prime minister Narendra Modi today said the backbone of militancy will be broken to restore complete normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir for peace, development and harmony.
He was speaking after laying foundation stones and inaugurating various developmental projects.
The Indian Prime minister said that every militant will be fought with full force and the militancy’s backbone will be broken.
Modi said that the countrymen are angry over the killing of innocent men and women by militants and described such as cowardice by people who are destroying the future of peace loving youth.
Prime minister added that the surgical strike across the line of control has shown the world its new policy (neeti) and tradition (reeti) in tackling terrorism.
In a stern message to those spreading terrorism and killing innocent youths, the prime minister said the country would give befitting response to every terrorist.
“I assure all the youths of Jammu and Kashmir and the country that the government will give a befitting response (‘muh-tod jawab’) to every terrorist. We will break the backbone of terror in the state,” he said addressing a function here.
Paying homage to those killed while fighting terrorists, including Nazir Ahmed Wani and Aurangzeb from Jammu and Kashmir, Modi said heroes are those who live to fulfil dreams and the biggest cowards are the ones who kill others’ dreams.
“Today the whole country is angry to see the killings of innocent and armless Kashmiri youths. (They are targeted) because these youths want to live and fulfil their dreams. But they are targeted by terrorism. This is the truth of terrorism here,” he said.
Modi said the surgical strike has showed to the world India’s new policy and tradition to check terror and the government will fight terrorism with all its might.
The prime minister said the development of people of Jammu and Kashmir and that of the state is the priority of the central government.
