In Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated today that the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is committed to ensuring the dignified and secure return of Kashmiri Pandits. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the LG said that Jammu and Kashmir has undergone a profound transformation since 2019. The sinister plot of an adversary to destroy the dreams and destiny of the people of the Union Territory has been decisively dismantled. He said that through tireless efforts, the ancient glory of this land has been restored, and development has been accelerated. Very soon, this land will be completely free from the scourge of terrorism. The LG said that the terrorist ecosystem in J&K tried to bury the truth, but we will never forget and never forgive those terrorists and their support networks who sowed terror and struck at the souls of generations. The LG further said that the younger generation must never forget that Pakistani-backed terrorists also spilled the blood of thousands of innocent Kashmiri Muslims. Justice has begun flowing to those families since last year, with efforts underway to fulfill their employment needs alongside other essentials, he said. The LG was speaking at the release of the book titled "Kashmir-Nativity Regained," authored by Professor Ashok Kaul. The book explores the Kashmiri Pandit exodus and captures the terror of those dark days and the lasting devastation of being wrenched from ancestral roots. The LG said that Professor Kaul's book is not just a literary endeavor but a commendable effort to break the silence that has shrouded our collective consciousness for decades. The LG highlighted that in 2021, the Kashmiri Migrant web portal was launched to recover houses and lands of the Kashmiri Pandit community, which had been encroached upon by others.
