Terrorism declined after bifurcation of J&K into UTs: Rajnath Singh
- 3 years ago
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed army forces in Ladakh on June 28.
During his speech he shared the locals’ happiness at the government's decision to create the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
He said, “Two years back, the Govt took a historical decision - J&K and Ladakh became UTs. When I talk to the people of Ladakh and our MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, then I see a difference. He says that the people of Ladakh are happy. Why was it needed to form UT? Due to terrorism and lack of socio-economic development. People were devoid of even basic facilities. I don't think any sensitive govt will tolerate it. Terrorism activities went down after formation of UT. The Army is doing commendable work.”
