*”LG Sinha Slams Fake Narratives, Unveils J&K’s Growth Story: ‘New J&K Where Youth Achieve New Heights'”*

Srinagar, July 10: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated the ‘Bharat Sanrachna J&K 2025’ exhibition and public outreach initiative at Srinagar, highlighting the remarkable growth story of Jammu and Kashmir. During his address, LG Sinha warned divisive elements to stop spreading fake narratives that threaten peace and harmony, specifically mentioning statements about demographic invasion and cultural spoilage.

"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 narrative. We have already lost many innocent lives due to similar statements in the past,” LG Sinha said.

The Lieutenant Governor reiterated his resolve to ensure justice for terror victim families, announcing that job letters would be handed over to them in a few days. "We are honoring and delivering justice to real terror victims of Kashmir valley. SRO-43 was compromised in the past. Instead of those who are entitled for jobs, the killers were granted jobs under SRO-43. Whoever misused the SRO-43, will face the action,” he said.

Highlighting J&K’s growth story, LG Sinha said, "Since 2014, our great nation is rapidly moving towards becoming a global superpower with new resolve, new thinking, and a new roadmap. Within 6 years, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has written a new history of J&K. It is new J&K where children have pens in their hands and not stones, schools and colleges remain open throughout the year, where calendars of international programmes are published instead of bandhs and strikes.”

The Lieutenant Governor also emphasized the importance of innovation and technology-driven development, saying, "Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Central Schemes and Innovations will shape our youth’s dream into reality. I am looking forward to the day when youth from J&K will join the space sector, become an astronaut to explore new frontiers of space.”

The ‘Bharat Sanrachna J&K 2025’ initiative aims to create awareness about government schemes, and highlight innovation and technology-driven development across multiple sectors. The event features interactive exhibitions, live demonstrations, workshops, seminars, and expert talks on topics like innovation, sustainability, and government support.

The Lieutenant Governor commended the initiative, saying it would educate and engage youth, students, farmers, entrepreneurs, and every section of society with real-time exposure to government services. He encouraged schools and colleges to visit the exhibition in large numbers to inspire youth and encourage their contribution to Jammu & Kashmir’s development journey.
