Kathua, Mar 09: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in J&K Legislative Assembly, Sunil Sharma today raised serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding the deaths occurred in Kathua, and expressed his doubts about the possibility of a deeper conspiracy aimed to destabilizing the region by making attempts to revive terrorism in Jammu.
He expressed these remarks while meeting with the families of Darshan Singh, Yogesh Singh and Varun Singh, of the Malhar area of Billawar tehsil, Kathua district, who were found dead on Saturday.
The three individuals had gone missing on Thursday evening while traveling to a wedding in Lohai Malhar.
While addressing the gathering in Billawar, the BJP leader Sharma expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families and assured them that the BJP, both at the national and local levels, stands firm with them in this moment of sorrow and grief. He vowed to take up the matter at the highest levels to ensure justice for the victims and their families.
Sharma raised serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding the deaths, doubting the possibility of a deeper conspiracy aimed at destabilizing the region, by making attempts to revive militancy in Billawar, Bani, Basohli, Doda, and Kishtwar areas, and stressed the need for a comprehensive and transparent investigation into the incident. He assured that the culprits will not be spared.
“This is not an isolated incident. There is a pattern emerging that cannot be ignored. There have been continuous efforts by anti-national elements to revive terrorism in these areas. He urged the administration and security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and expose the real culprits behind these mysterious deaths,” Sharma said.
He emphasized that no stone will be left unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice. “The government and the security forces are capable to defeat the designs of anti-India dispensations sitting across the borders. The BJP will not tolerate any attempt to disrupt peace and stability in the Jammu region,” he added.
Sharma urged the Lieutenant Governor and security agencies to enhance surveillance and security measures in these sensitive areas. The people of Billawar, Basohli, and adjoining regions have bravely stood against terrorism in the past. The administration must be more vigilant to ensure their safety and prevent any resurgence of terrorism, he stated.
He reaffirmed that the party remains committed to upholding peace, security, and the rights of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. He called upon security agencies to intensify efforts to curb any nefarious designs aimed at reviving terrorism in the region.
