\nThe Governor also lauded the security forces including the state police for their success in curbing militant activities.<\/i><\/p>\n

Malik highlighted that his administration was in the process of formulating a fresh package for the rehabilitation of militants in Jammu and Kashmir.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Police is performing its duty in the best possible way. But even if a militant loses his life, I feel pained\u2026 They all should come back (to the mainstream),\u201d Malik told reporters here on the sidelines of an event.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I took over as the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, I tried to give them (security forces) the best possible facilities. I have seen they conduct their operations in tough situations and heavy snow. It\u2019s a difficult task,\u201d Malik said.<\/i><\/p>\n

While we are sleeping in our homes at night, they are conducting operations, sometimes till three in the morning, Malik said.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Governor also addressed the 9th Sat Paul Sahni memorial lecture on \u2018ethics and the media: yesterday, today and tomorrow\u2019 organised by the J&K regional branch of Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA).<\/i><\/p>\n

Malik was the chief guest while Amitabh Mattoo, former vice-chancellor, University of Jammu delivered the memorial lecture.<\/i><\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, the Governor said that democracy was deep rooted in the Indian society which thrives on democratic principles giving the real power to the common man.<\/i><\/p>\n

Mattoo in his lecture said that freedom of expression, values and institutions were at the core of the Indian democracy.<\/i><\/p>\n

Historically, great leaders expressed their narratives through their own newspapers maintaining highest standards of objectivity, accuracy, accountability and humane approach, he said.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cToday in the post-truth world, the media is driven by technology where the news flows seamlessly across borders. The democratisation and decentralisation of news forms of media presents a diabolic situation which presents a great challenge for the future,\u201d he added.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
