Militancy on crutches, Hurriyat nowhere in J&K: DGP Dilbag Singh

Militancy was on crutches and separatist Hurriyat was nowhere present in the Union Territory (UT), J&K Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh said on Monday.

“Militancy in J&K was on crutches. Hurriyat was nowhere present. But a new chapter of the Hurriyat has been opened in Pakistan to provoke people of J&K. However, its band call on August 5 this year was totally ignored by the people of J&K. Instead, there were huge celebrations,” DGP Singh said, while speaking at the closing ceremony of the ‘3rd Shaheed DySP Aman memorial T20 Cricket tournament’ in Kishtwar.

The J&K Police was working tirelessly to protect the interests of the people, he said. “Those who one way or another go against the law will face the law,” he warned.
