The Lieutenant Governor observed that IWT was a historical mistake, unfair, one-sided, and hampered infrastructure development in Jammu Kashmir and restricted growth of development projects.J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has also backed the Central government’s decision to put the 1960 IWT in abeyance and termed the treaty as the “most unfair document” to the people of J&K.In a separate function, Sinha, while addressing the Provincial Arya Mahasammelan at SKUAST Jammu, said there are few elements who speak the language of TRF.“Police and security forces are committed to ensure peace and action against such elements as per the law,” he said, adding every citizen of J&K has the onerous responsibility to build Terror-free and Drug-free UT.He recently issued a strong warning to elements peddling narratives that mirror the ideology of terror outfit TRF.“Some people are giving irresponsible statements by saying that guests are spoiling the culture of J&K. They are stating there is a demographic invasion and alcoholism is spreading. This is the similar narrative as of terror outfit TRF. I appeal to those making such statements to stop peddling such a narrative. We have already lost many innocent lives due to similar statements in the past,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
