To counter terrorism during last over two decades the VDCs have laid down their lives in the State and it was due to their efforts and service to the nation that the mass migration from hilly areas of Jammu region was stopped and the game plan of separatists and Pakistan was thwarted to a great extent.
It was with their efforts that the migration from upper reaches of Bhaderwah, Doda , Kishtwar, Poonch and Rajouri was stopped and people stayed back in their homes and hearts.
It was a game-plan of separatists and Pakistan to empty the hilly reaches of Jammu of minority Hindus too as was done in Kashmir where from entire Hindu minority was forced to flee by them.
He while commenting over the firing incident of Kewal Krishan a ration dealer of Kalakote said that the bullet has accidentally hit the Ishtiyaq Choudhary and it should not be given a communal turn. He accused the administration of playing a dubious role. He warned the administration to desist from harassing the members of minority community and family members of Kewal Krishan Sharma who surrendered before the police soon after the incident. He said giving communal tinge to the episode can be dangerous as such incidents have also taken place in past too and law should take its course.
