On April 22, 26 tourists were gunned down by terrorists in an attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that shook the nation. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor to target terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK.

He was speaking at a seminar in Delhi on “J&K’s March Towards Peace” as part of lecture series organized by Gandhi Smriti.

“This wind of change has rattled the terrorist nation Pakistan and it constantly tries to hurt the soul of India & its cultural-spiritual fabric. Aim of Pahalgam terrorist attack was to stall economic progress of UT as well but we are marching ahead with renewed strength,” Sinha added.

He said that with the help of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are fulfilling the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and building a fear-free, terror-free J&K, which would make its place among the developed states and UTs as a symbol of peace.

“A month-long peace march is organised in the Kashmir valley every year to commemorate Pujya Bapu’s birth anniversary. It reflects that J&K is reclaiming its legacy as a land of peace. Youth are now conscious of the fact that J&K of Bapu’s dreams is J&K of unity and peace,” he said.
