Centre to not extend suspension of ops in J&K announced during Ramazan
New Delhi, June 17 (IBNS): The Government of India on Sunday directed security forces in Jammu and Kashmir to take all necessary actions as earlier to prevent terrorists from launching attacks and indulging in violence and killings.
The government earlier took the decision that security forces will not conduct offensive operations in Jammu & Kashmir during the holy month of Ramazan.
This decision was taken in the interests of the peace loving people of J&K, in order to provide them a conducive atmosphere to observe Ramazan.
"Government commends the role of Security Forces for having implemented the decision in letter and spirit in the face of grave provocation, to enable the Muslim brothers and sisters to observe Ramazan in a peaceful manner," the Centre said in a statement.
"This has been widely appreciated by the people all over the country, including J&K, and has brought relief to the common citizens. It was expected that everyone will cooperate in ensuring the success of this initiative,"
"While the Security Forces have displayed exemplary restraint during this period, the terrorists have continued with their attacks, on civilians and Security Forces, resulting in deaths and injuries," the statement said.
"Government will continue with its endeavour to create an environment free of terror and violence in Jammu & Kashmir. It is important that all sections of peace loving people come together to isolate the terrorists and motivate those who have been misguided to return to the path of peace," it added.
