JAMMU, May 4: All India Anti-Terrorist Front (AIATF) today urged Government of India to give free hand to the security forces to deal with tensed borders and law and order problem in J&K.
Bharat Bhandari, president of J&K unit of AIATF, in a press conference said that the security forces should retaliate with 100 bullets against one bullet from Pakistan side.
“This is the need of the hour that security forces should be given free hand to tackle the situation. Our Jawans are being ambushed, attacked, kicked and slapped by the separatists and anti-national elements in Kashmir, but the Government is silent on it and instead of taking actions on these anti-national elements they are lodgings FIRs against our security forces which will not be tolerated,” Bhandari said.
He also stated that all the facilities given to the separatist leaders like security, bungalows, etc should be withdrawn immediately without any notice as they are the ‘touts and barking dogs’ of Pakistan.
“All the separatists should be arrested immediately and sent to Tihar jail, so that all their internal communication could be busted. Any kind of anti-national activity will not be tolerated anymore in Jammu and Kashmir,” AIATF president warned.
