Srinagar, Nov 20: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said that people attempting to disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir will face exemplary punishment.
Addressing a gathering, Sinha highlighted the interconnection of peace, economic prosperity, and a vibrant cultural environment, including the promotion of film culture in Jammu and Kashmir.
He called upon citizens to remain vigilant against elements aiming to disrupt societal harmony and prosperity.
“Our law enforcement agencies are monitoring the anti-India elements and separatists’ ecosystem and if they try to put people’s lives in danger or compromise India’s integrity, we will ensure exemplary punishment for them,” he said.
He urged people to identify such elements and ensure they are brought to justice, emphasizing that exemplary punishment would act as a deterrent.
“I believe those who strive for peace are paving the way for a brighter future, reminiscent of the day of independence,” Sinha stated, adding, “However, those threatening the well-being of society must understand that strict legal action awaits them.”
Referring to a recent trend of misinformation and attempts to sow discord, Sinha reiterated the constitutional rights of individuals while cautioning against the misuse of these freedoms. “The Constitution guarantees freedom but also imposes reasonable restrictions to maintain order. Any campaign aimed at misleading society will face strict legal consequences,” he warned.
The LG also called on members of the film industry to recognize their responsibility in shaping societal narratives. “You can guide society on the right path with determination and clarity. I trust you will remain committed to fostering unity and harmony,” he said.
