UDHAMPUR, Mar 1: Ranbir Singh Pathania, spokesperson J&K BJP while addressing a meeting of party cadres at Majalta in district Udhampur today said that Government’s policy of ‘No soft approach towards terrorism’ has virtually delivered on ground. There are no permissible categories or classes of terrorism. A big swoop on hawala transactions, media & business houses, Government employees and other private players have been dealt with sternly.
Pathania was all praise for clinical follow up of security forces whereby the perpetrators and murder of Sanjay Sharma in Achan, Pulwama, have been done to justice in a remarkably shorter period. “We positively hope and rather have full faith that subversive elements posing threat to peace and law and order shall be done to justice. , We are moving towards a situation of   zero militancy in J&K’’, he added.
He said that forces which have been dividing and creating dissensions in the people stand exposed and marginalised. All-out campaign of Government against terrorism, corruption and secessionism has set a trend and rather a wave in J & K whereby people have come to heave a sigh of relief. Pathania made a scathing attack on secessionist forces and said that forces which have bred secession, promoted division, spread hatred stand exposed now. J&K which had been an abode of research, learning, intellect since times immemorial is back to bloom and blossom and regain its lost glory. It has been due to weak, slipshod policy and positioning of the successive regimes that situation stands worsened. Moreso, burying-head-in-sand approach of previous regimes had emboldened fissiparous forces in our immediate neighborhood.
The meetings also deliberated on various organisational and developmental issues of the area. Those who spoke included Mohan Lal Sharma and Capt (retd) Gopal Singh Mankotia Mandal presidents of BJP, Makhan Lal Sharma, district vice president, Shiv Ram, Baldev Singh Mankotia, Anil Sharma, Ved Pal Mandal  general secretaries, Kuldip Singh,  Onkar Singh, Prem Nath, Kurpal Singh, Ram Singh Sarpanch, Lochan Singh, Mohd Din, Ashok Kumar Bhagat, Suneet Singh, Tirath Ram, Suresh Kumar  and a wide galaxy of local leadership.
