The Director General of Police (DGP) R R Swain Monday said the war against terrorism is not over in Jammu and Kashmir yet.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at Gurdwara Chattipadshahi in Rainawari, Srinagar, DGP said the war against terrorism in J&K is not over yet.
“War ends only when one side accepts defeat and acknowledges that bloodshed is not going to yield any result. So our fight against terrorism will continue despite bearing some losses at times,” he said.
"If the challenge is to move forward even though we have to bear losses, we will not back down from that challenge “Peechay hatnay ka sawaal he nahi…,” he said.
Responding to a query, the DGP said infiltration increases at some places and decreases at some others.
“It is a matter of strategy and cannot be discussed in public domain,” he said.
Last week, five army personnel including two captains were killed in a two-day long encounter in the dense forest area of Kalkote in Rajouri district. In the same gunfight, top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander trained in Pakistan and his associate were killed.
While paying rich tributes to Guru Nanak Dev on occasion of Gurupurab, DGP said, “On this sacred occasion, police renews its pledge to serve people rather it takes a pledge to re-dedicate themselves to serve people.”
“Guru Nanak Devji’s teachings are very much relevant today. He has preached equality and no difference between poor and rich. Irrespective of caste, colour and creed, Guruji’s teachings can enlighten any soul even today. On this occasion, I extend my wishes to the Sikh community of J&K,” he said.
