Srinagar, Nov 05 (KNS): Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday said that restoration of statehood is as certain as the sun rising from the east.
He was quick to add that no political effort or promises are required to fulfill this commitment.
LG made these remarks while addressing a gathering in North Kashmir's Baramulla district during an event, appeared to be a pointed response to the National Conference’s repeated pledges to restore statehood—a task, he suggested, that requires no political efforts.
"The assurance that the government gives in the parliamentary session is as true as the sun rising from the east," LG said adding that no one has to make any effort in this.
LG said that the terrorists targeting the people will be brought to justice. He warned the perpetrators and those aiding and sheltering terrorists.
“We will not spare terrorists and those aiding and abetting them in targeting our people. We will bring them to justice. People must stand up against the perpetrators of terror. Security forces, administration and people should work together to wipe-out terrorism,” he added.

“Our youth as fearless force of creativity and torch-bearers of positive change are building a bright and vibrant J&K. Under the leadership of PM Modi, efforts have been made to fulfil the hopes, aspirations and dreams of the youth of Jammu Kashmir,” he said.
The LG called upon the youth to work with team spirit while following the ideals and values of the founding fathers of the country for peace and progress of J&K.
“The combined power of the youth ignited by desire and determination to carve a new destiny for the society will be the most powerful strength in the journey of 'Viksit Bharat' and a joyous, peaceful, prosperous Jammu Kashmir,” he said.
Among the many challenges facing the youth is the challenge of drug addiction, LG said adding, "Drug-free J&K is a step to ensure our youth realize their true potential and with the hard work shape their tomorrow."(KNS)
