- Kathua encounter exposes Pakistan’s desperation ahead of national days: Purnima Sharma
JAMMU: Purnima Sharma, BJP Spokesperson and Former Deputy Mayor, today strongly lauded the security forces for successfully neutralising a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist in the Kathua encounter, terming it a major success against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and a clear warning to enemies of the nation.
In her statement, Purnima Sharma said the swift and decisive action by the security forces, including the Army and J&K Police, reflects their high level of preparedness, coordination and unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation’s unity and integrity. She said the Kathua operation once again proves that the security forces remain alert round the clock and are fully capable of neutralising any terror threat.
She strongly slammed Pakistan for continuing its policy of exporting terrorism, stating that every year, especially around Republic Day and Independence Day, Pakistan deliberately attempts to push terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir to disturb peace and create fear among innocent civilians. “These repeated attempts clearly show Pakistan’s frustration and its inability to accept peace, stability and democratic strength in the region,” she said.
Purnima Sharma asserted that such cowardly acts will never succeed, as the security forces are vigilant and determined to crush terror at its roots. “Pakistan must understand that its proxy war has failed. Each infiltration attempt is answered with courage, precision and a decisive response,” she added.
She further said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have completely rejected terrorism and stand firmly with the nation and the security forces. “The bond between the people and the security forces has grown stronger, and together we will defeat every anti-national conspiracy,” she said.
Highlighting BJP’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism, Purnima Sharma said the Narendra Modi-led government has empowered the security forces to act firmly and fearlessly. “Under BJP’s leadership, terrorists and their handlers are being identified, pursued and neutralised, ensuring that peace prevails,” she stated.
She also paid tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the security personnel, saying the nation owes them an eternal debt of gratitude. “Their courage ensures that citizens can celebrate Republic Day and Independence Day in peace and pride,” she said.
Reiterating her message, Purnima Sharma warned Pakistan to stop sponsoring terrorism or be prepared to face strong consequences. “Terrorism will never succeed. Our resolve is unshakeable, and the security forces will continue to protect the nation with honour and valour,” she concluded.
