Terrorists Frustrated Over Return Of Normalcy In Kashmir

A senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader today said that the Pakistan-sponsored terrorists killed three civilians, including an apple trader, this week in Jammu and Kashmir “out of frustration” to cause fear among people. BJP National vice-president Avinash Rai Khanna expressed confidence that the accused would soon be killed or captured to maintain peace in the Kashmir Valley. He also said that the situation in the Valley is fast returning to normal and people have reposed their faith in the democracy by actively taking part in the Block Development Council (BDC) elections, scheduled to take place on October 24. Without naming the National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, he accused them of looting the state and said: “there was not a single protest by people for them”. “The government is very serious to maintain law and order but the way the innocent people, including an apple trader, were killed shows that the terrorists are frustrated over the return of normalcy in Kashmir and they want to scare the people,” Mr Khanna, who returned from Kashmir after a three-day-long visit, said.
