Jammu, Oct 04: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that the government has adapted a zero tolerance policy against terrorism due to which there is massive reduction in terror related incidents in Jammu and Kashmir.
He made these comments after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 263 development projects worth Rs.1960 crore in Jammu on Tuesday.
The Union Home Minister that the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has adopted a “policy of zero tolerance against terrorism,” and it is because of this that the supporters of terrorism sitting in the administration have been identified and action has been taken against them.
He said that because of the strong leadership of Prime Minister Modi, nobody goes on strike in Jammu and Kashmir anymore.
“Now Jammu and Kashmir does not witness the incidents of stone pelting as the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving ahead on the path of development,” Shah said.
Taking a dig at the opposition, the Union Home Minister said that due to the rule of three families, Jammu and Kashmir had been left far behind other states in terms of development, but after 2014, Prime Minister Modi has ensured that Jammu and Kashmir is developed and moves together with other states of the country.
“In Jammu and Kashmir, 42,000 people died of terrorism and nobody flinched an eye in Delhi. Now, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terrorism is under control of the security forces,” Shah said.
He said that there has been a reduction of about 54 percent in terrorist incidents, 84 percent in the casualties of security forces and about 22 percent in the number of people going to the terrorist organisations.
