Govt must evolve a comprehensive policy to fight terrorism: JKUF

Jammu Kashmir Unity Foundation has called for a comprehensive response to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism which has been going on unabated for decades in the country, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir.

This was a unanimous resolution passed at a conference "26/11 Lessons for Future" organized by JKUF here to remember the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack as a war-like act which exposed the entire dimension of the Pak-sponsored low-intensity aggression against India.

All the panelists opined that if the entire gamut of issues brought to the fore by the Mumbai terror attack would have been addressed in totality, India by now would have decisively defeated the terror war unleashed by Pakistan,a JKUF statement said.

The panelists were unanimous in their views that after the neutralization of 370 and reorganization of erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state into two UTs, a pedestal has been created to defeat the Pak designs and a hope has been generated that Jihadi terrorism would now be understood in its entirety and dealt with comprehensively.

Speaking of the occasion, Major General G S Jamwal (Retd) said, "We have not fought terrorism as a nation."
In his address, Prof Shujaat Khan said, "Pakistan is the hub of illegal mafia economy. It is the epicentre of not only terrorism but drug-driven international cartels, poisoning the whole world."
