Jammu: BJP MP Shamsher Singh Manhas on Wednesday alleged that a conspiracy is being hatched to "terrorise Hindu minorities" in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda-Kishtwar belt by reviving militancy in the area.
The administration needs to take note of the apprehensions of the community and strengthen measures to ensure plans of anti-national forces do not succeed, he told reporters here after a team led by him visited the area in the state's Jammu region.
The team has prepared a report on the situation in the Doda-Kishtwar belt following two terror attacks in Kishtwar district in the last few months.
"The killing of BJP leaders Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar, top RSS functionary Chanderkant Sharma in Kishtwar and the recent killing of one person in Kaach village of Nalthi area of Bhaderwah (Doda) indicate that a conspiracy is being hatched to terrorise the Hindu minority in the erstwhile Doda district by reviving militancy in the area," he said.
In Kishtwar, the Parihar brothers were killed by suspected militants in November last year while Sharma was killed in April.
The team was shocked to learn that there is a feeling of insecurity among members of the community, he claimed, adding people feel that the police and the civil administration need to take decisive and immediate action.
"The police and the administration should immediately strengthen VDCs (Village Defence Committees), revive SOG (Special Operations Group) and the STF (Special Task Force) so that anti-national forces do not succeed in their nefarious plan of reviving militancy in this hilly district (Kishtwar)," Manhas said.
The people are also demanding round-the-clock patrolling by police and security forces, the MP claimed.
