Srinagar, Aug. 6 -- Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday distributed job orders to 158 terror victim families in Srinagar. Addressing the gathering during the occasion, Sinha said the government has drawn a new line against terrorism and that equal punishment will be meted out to terrorists and their sponsors. "India has drawn a new redline against terrorism and equal punishment will be given to terrorists and their sponsors. Peace is a prerequisite for progress. There is no place for terrorism in a civilized society. Many generations of J&K have suffered the brunt of terrorism perpetrated by the neighbouring country. Every person has to take a pledge that they will not allow this to happen again," he said. "Time did not erase the pain of loss. Invisible scars on their soul can be felt, and the mute eyes are witnesses to many unfulfilled dreams," he said. The LG shared the tragic account of Abdul Majid Mir's family, whose was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists on June 29, 2004. "Abdul Majid's family lost their sole breadwinner and received Rs. 1 lakh as an ex-gratia payment under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme. Despite Abdul Majid Mir's martyrdom, his family struggled to live a life of dignity. Today, by providing a government job to his son, Mudasir Majid, the administration has fulfilled its long-overdue responsibility," he said. "We will do everything possible for the rehabilitation of terror victims. It is my promise to the NoKs of terror victim families that perpetrators of heinous crime will receive exemplary punishment. "On 5 August 2019, the dismantling of terror ecosystem had begun. A new J&K was born that had dreams of a golden future in its eyes." Sinha said that people ask him what is new Jammu Kashmir. "I want to tell them that the new Jammu Kashmir is one where jobs are not given to terrorists but to the real martyrs of this UT. The new J&K is one where tears are not shed on the death of terrorists but the tears of common Kashmiris are wiped away..." he said. On July 13, the LG had handed over appointment letter to 40 NoKs of terror victims at Baramulla and 80 families received justice on July 28 at an event in Jammu....
