JAMMU: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today addressed the All J&K Jat Sabha in Jammu. In his address, the Lieutenant Governor highlighted the valour of armed forces and reaffirmed the government's resolve to completely rid J&K of terrorism.
“Pakistan is on notice. If it resorts to any misadventure in future, our armed forces will make sure to destroy this terrorist state. I assure the people that there will be no discrimination between armed terrorists and their supporters and sympathisers. Their actions will be met with similar punishment,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor appealed to the brave Jat Community and all sections of society to strengthen their resolve and unite in the fight against the divisive forces threatening our peace and social fabric. In these challenging times, your responsibility to uphold national unity is more crucial than ever, he added.
“Jat community has a rich legacy of valour, courage, and sacrifice. A significant population of the Jat community resides near our borders, making them the country's first line of defence. I am proud that your devotion to the motherland has deepened the spirit of nationalism in the society,” Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor paid homage to victims of Pahalgam Terror Attack and those killed due to unprovoked shelling by Pakistan. He said the Government of India is committed to proper rehabilitation of the affected families. The Lieutenant Governor, in his address, further called for recognising the threat from divisive elements who are trying to divide the society.
“We must celebrate our diversity and foster unity to defeat the Adversary’s nefarious designs. Our brave Armed Forces have scripted a new saga of valor with 'Operation Sindoor.' It is now our sacred task to transform the vision of a United and Viksit Bharat into reality and pay a fitting tribute to our bravehearts who cherished the dream of a powerful nation,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor expressed his gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the Hon’ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, for ushering in an era of equality in Jammu and Kashmir, and empowering marginalized communities.

In her inaugural address, the Chief Guest encouraged the participants and explained the importance of the theme of National Yoga Olympiad (NYO) 2025 — "Yoga for Health and Harmony," which aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle and promote well-being among learners.
Earlier, DNO for the “National Yoga Olympiad,” Sanjay Sharma, invited Sr. Academic Officer Riaz Ahmed Giri for the welcome address, while In-Charge Principal DIET Riaz Ahmed Butt apprised the audience about the event.

Guiding the younger generation toward harmony, peace, and love through yoga is of utmost importance.

SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today laid the foundation stone of Guest House at Holy Shrine Dargah Hazratbal in Srinagar. The Lieutenant Governor extended his felicitations to members of Jammu Kashmir Waqf Board and all the stakeholders. He said, in the past few years, the basic facilities for the pilgrims have seen tremendous improvement and the infrastructure development has eased the pilgrimage to Hazratbal, a revered spiritual center.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor called upon the people to ensure that we rid the society of elements aiding and abetting terrorists, bring the terror elements hiding among the public to justice and the infrastructure and other projects must be given a new impetus to meet the developmental needs of the people.
Paying homage to the innocent civilians killed by Pakistan-Sponsored Terrorists in Pahalgam, the Lieutenant Governor said, Operation Sindoor avenged Pahalgam terror attack by punishing terror state Pakistan and firmly enforced India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.
He said, the brave soldiers of our armed forces have not only destroyed the terror factories deep inside Pakistan but have also drawn a new red line. Now any terror attack will be considered an 'act of war' and Pakistan will be given the harshest punishment for it, he further added.
“We need to strike hard at the terror ecosystem. The aides of terrorists should be identified and they should be given the same punishment as a terrorist for inflicting wounds on the soul of J&K. After the terror attack in Pahalgam, the kind of protests that were seen on the J&K's streets against the terrorist country Pakistan were historic. The valley echoed with slogans against terrorism,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor also called for collective efforts to foster the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ and promote unity across the diverse communities. He said statements like the guests are spoiling the culture of J&K or demographic invasion are truly problematic and public should oppose such statements.
“I appeal to those in positions of responsibility in Jammu Kashmir to stop using the phrase like local and non-local. We all are Indians. Stop dividing Indians into local and outsiders. You should work to unite people so that a united society can take Jammu Kashmir to the greater heights of growth,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor prayed that Prophet Muhammad, Baba Amarnath may shower their blessings and strengthen the love, peace and brotherhood in the society.
Dr Darakhshan Andrabi, Chairperson J&K Waqf Board; Shri Nalin Prabhat, DGP; Shri Vidhi Kumar Birdi, IGP Kashmir; Shri Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir; members of J&K Waqf Board, senior officials, religious leaders, prominent citizens and people in large number were present.
