Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has taken full responsibility for the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, terming it a “security failure” while asserting that the attack was orchestrated by Pakistan to disrupt Kashmir’s growing economic stability and foment communal tensions.
While acknowledging the security lapse, he highlighted the decline in local terrorist recruitment and emphasized the government’s commitment to countering terrorism.
In an interview to The Times of India, LG Sinha said that the Pahalgam terror attack was a Pakistan-sponsored terror attack. “The intention of the neighbour (Pakistan) was to create a communal divide.” “I take full responsibility for the incident, which was undoubtedly a security failure.”
