PIRPUNJAL NOVEMBER 05::It has been since 1990 that our state, which is known as heaven on earth worldwide, is burning in the gruesome fire of terrorism. Our state has not only lost precious lives of armed personnel and civilians, but also property worth crores of rupees. Above all, we have lost all those beautiful moments of our kids which they sacrificed because of incessant curfews, stone pelting, cordons and other terror activities. People were fed up with that unending terrorism and wanted to put an end to that unhealthy atmosphere.
It was in 2014, when BJP came into power as a coalition with PDP. That government gave a start to a tsunami which began annihilating the spirit of terrorism. It is only because of our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic intelligence that BJP succeeded in curbing terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. As per written records, there has been a 66% dip in terror activities, terror killings, stone pelting, cross-border insurgency and band calls by Hurriyat and other anti-national establishments.
As per CID report, 228 terror-initiated activities happened during the year 2018. These incidents declined to merely 43 in number till November 2023. In 2018, 189 encounters took place between security forces and militants; that number reduced to 48. We lost 55 precious lives of our civilians in 2018; this horrific number reduced to 13 till 2023. Our 91 army personnel sacrificed their blood for our motherland during the year 2014; that number reduced to mere 25.
Necessary to mention here is that our National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, with his intelligence and with the help of our strong army, has broken the backbone of terrorism by exposing Hurriyat leaders and crushing terrorists and terror outfits. Arrest of Hurriyat leaders has stopped terror funding in Kashmir, and they are no longer free to spoil the atmosphere of Kashmir by giving band calls, which had earlier spoiled the lives of Kashmiri people to a greater extent.
Innumerable arrests of people involved in terror activities by NIA have further declined the percentage of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Efforts made by BJP have not only improved the lives of people of Jammu and Kashmir but have also given a magnificent boost to tourism. Our heaven on earth has received the highest number of tourists of the last three decades this year. In short, BJP has turned terrorism into tourism, which has ensured a 100% rise in the economy of Kashmiri people.
The story of progress of our state of Jammu and Kashmir does not end here. Our state has received ₹2,153 crore for developmental projects for the year 2023. In addition to this, ₹6,000 crore of investments are in the pipeline. Our state Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) has increased from ₹1 lakh crore in 2014–15 to ₹2,27,927 crore in 2022–23.
In the end, I just want to say that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, who once carried stones and bullets in their hands for hurting and killing armed personnel, are now busy working on computers and making their contacts with the world at large. The era of bomb blasts, stone pelting, bloodsheds and firings has been replaced by education, schools, colleges, medical colleges, management institutions, industries and infrastructure since Modi has taken charge of Jammu and Kashmir.
