Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said certain individuals were provoking people to promote street violence, see closure of schools and colleges.
Without naming any leader or party, Mr. Sinha said some people could not digest the return of peace in Jammu and Kashmir. “They were provoking people to promote street violence, see closure of schools and colleges. These people are responsible for the killing of 40,000 to 50,000 innocents in J&K,” the L-G said, while addressing a three-day national workshop on Panchayat with Good Governance at Kashmir International Convention Centre in Srinagar.
He also criticised those who opposed the home for homeless scheme by suggesting outsiders were being settled in Jammu and Kashmir. He said no non-J&K resident was getting home under the PMAY-G.
