The Army on Saturday stated Pakistan was attempting to draw the poor and working-class people in Rajouri-Poonch sector, house to numerous Muslim Gujjars and Bakerwals, for “terrorist activities with money”.
“After the abolition of Article 370, Pakistan does not want peace and government formation in J&K. That is why, Pakistan keeps on creating various conspiracies to mislead the youth of this region by giving training in terrorist camps and changing the thinking of youth through wrong propaganda,” the Army stated, flaying Pakistan’s false propaganda “on caste and religion etc”.
The Army assertion got here a day after the Jammu and Kashmir Police pointed at native help for militants who attacked an Army truck in Poonch on April 20, which left 5 troopers useless.
“Pakistan never wants an atmosphere of peace or harmony in J&K. Pakistan always tries to spread unrest, disharmony, and communal disturbances by supplying drugs and intoxicants to youth of this region,” the Army stated.
“The people of J&K should understand the heinous and nefarious acts of Pakistan and protest such activities on a large scale. They should try to motivate their children and family and keep them updated with the old history of this region,” the spokesman added.
He stated there was a necessity to teach locals “in a proper direction”. “In the recent attack on an Army truck in Poonch, a few names of a community came to the fore, which is unbelievable. Hence, the people of this area should keep away from such type of incidents and activities… If someone is roaming suspiciously in the region, people should immediately inform and assist the Army and foil any major incident like Poonch,” the Army stated.
It is the duty of all to be alert and cautious in the long run to save lots of the lives of our Army troopers and residents of this area and produce peace and tranquillity, the Army added.
The Army highlighted the function the Poonch area performed throughout historic occasions and battles fought by the locals in 1948, 1962, 1971 and 1999. “Whenever anyone tried to spread unrest in this area, people have fought shoulder to shoulder with the Indian Army irrespective of their caste, creed, gender and religion,” the Army stated.
The Army stated all of the communities of Poonch area like Gujjars, Bakarwals, Muslims, and Hindus confirmed their anger over the Poonch incident and protested. “The people of J&K should understand the heinous and nefarious acts of Pakistan and protest such activities on a large scale,” the Army stated.
The Army stated the federal government established a 5G community for higher communication, which can assist people in the training sector and pace up know-how in the area. “The Central government and the Army have been working together for the development of the area and people of this region, so that they could be part of the mainstream of the country,” the Army stated.
It requested the people of all of the communities “to walk shoulder to shoulder with the Army”.
