It has been since 1990 that our state, which is known as heaven on earth worldwide, is burning in gruesome fire of terrorism. Our state has not only lost precious lives of armed personnel, civilians but also lost property worth crores of rupees and above all we have lost all those beautiful moments of our kids which they have sacrificed because of incessant curfews, stone pelting, cordon off 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 started 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 seen 66 ? dip in terror activities, terror killings, stone pelting, cross boarder insurgency and band calls by Hurriyat and other anti national establishments.
As per CID report , 228 terror initiated activities happened during year 2018, these incidents declined upto mere 43 in number till November 2023, 189 number of encounters took place between security forces and militants in 2018 , that number reduced upto 48, we lost 55 precious lives of our civilians in 2018, this horrific number reduced upto 13 till 2023, our 91 army personnel sacrificed their blood for our mother land during the year 2014 that number reduced upto mere 25.
Necessary to mention here is that our National Security Advisor Ajeet Doval with his intelligence and with the help of our strong army has broken the backbone of terrorism by exposing Hurriyat, hurriyat leaders and crushing terrorists and terror outfits . Arrest of Hurriyat leaders has stopped the terror funding in Kashmir and they are also nowhere free to spoil the atmosphere of Kashmir by giving band calls as those calls have spoiled the lives of Kashmiri people to a greater extend.
Innumerable arrests of people involved in terror activities by NIA has further declined the percentage terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Efforts made by BJP has not only improved the lives of people of Jammu and Kashmir but has also given a magnificent boost to tourism. Our heaven on earth has received highest number of tourists of last three decades this year. In short BJP has turned terrorism into tourism which has ensured the rise in economy of Kashmiri people to 100 per cent.
The story of progress of our state of Jammu and Kashmir does not end here, our state has received 2153 crore rupees for developmental projects for the year 2023.
In addition to this Rs 6000 crore of investments are in pipeline. Our state gross state domestic product (GSDP) has increased from rupees 1 lakh crore to in 2014 -15 to rupees 227, 927 crore in 2022 -23.
In the end, I just want to say that youth of Jammu and Kashmir, who carry stones and bullets in their hands for hurting and killing armed personnel are now busy in working on computers and making their contacts with world at large.
The era of bomb blasts, stone pelting, blood sheds, firings has been replaced by education, school, colleges, medical colleges, management institutions, industries, and infrastructure since Modi has taken a charge of Jammu and Kashmir.
