Finally, some accountability! For too long these support networks have operated with impunity in Kashmir. The fact that they arrested a teacher shows how deep the rot goes. Hope the investigation continues and more arrests follow.
While I support action against terrorism, I hope due process is followed. We need to ensure that innocent people aren't caught in the net. That said, any teacher abusing their position to aid terrorists deserves the strictest punishment. Children's futures are at stake.
Kishtwar is a sensitive area, and such arrests send a strong message to those thinking of supporting terrorism. The UAPA sections invoked are appropriate. J&K Police deserves appreciation for their relentless efforts to restore peace in the region. Bhai, kudos to SSP Naresh Singh! 👏
A teacher facilitating terrorists? This is deeply troubling. Education is supposed to build a better society, not destroy it. I hope the police thoroughly investigate how this person got into the Education Department in the first place. Security checks for government employees need tightening.
Good work by the police, but I can't help feeling sad that some people from the region still support terrorism. We need more development and education in these areas to address the root causes. Enforcement alone won't solve the problem permanently. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
