Indian Army General To People of Kashmir.

People in Jammu and Kashmir are tired of militancy as they have realised that it cannot give them what they want, the army chief, general Bipin Rawat, said on Wednesday. inFacebook Live session at the ongoing Raisina Dialogue organised by the observer research foundation (ORF), he also saidthat people of Kashmir have “come to know that it is not possible to secede from India.” The people of Kashmir in general, I think, are getting tired of terrorism. They have seen it for too long and they have realised that it hasn’t given them what they had desired for,” Rawat said. “Let me tell you, with a country like India, to seek independence from a nation where we have strong armed forces, very strong democracy and very strong government...you cannot secede away from India. This is what people have realised and while of course some of them have gotten radicalised into joining terrorism and maybe it gives them a macho image or whatever happens, I do feel that most of them want to join the mainstream, but some of them who have got radicalized, I think we need to address those people and carry out with our deradicalisation campaign. If that works, I think we can succeed in putting an end to terrorism,” he said. On alleged ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC), he said that Pakistan is “trying to make an attempt to revive insurgency.” “The LoC is live because of infiltration taking place from across the border. There are terrorist bases very much inside Pakistan, attempt is being made to revive insurgency in Kashmir because people feel there is some semblance of peace that is returning in the Valley and we realise large scale infiltration taking place in coming few months
