Srinagar, Mar 23:<\/em><\/strong> Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Tuesday said that even though ISIS has cast its net in Syria and Iraq through its radicalization propaganda but in J&K UT there were no takers for the ISISI ideology. He, however, said that there was a need to counter the social media radicalization propaganda sponsored from across the LoC.<\/em><\/p>\n

Addressing the \u201cConfluence of Religious Leaders in Kashmir\u201d Conference at SKICC here, the LG said that ISIS ideology is being promoted to radicalize youth in Syria and Iraq. \u201cIn J&K UT there are no takers for ISIS ideology. That sort of radicalization is comparatively very, very less in J&K UT. But our concern is that social media sponsored radicalization from across the LoC,\u201d LG Sinha said as per news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO).<\/em><\/p>\n

He said that efforts made from across LoC to lure youth towards violence needs to be understood.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA human being is clear by his heart, but at times, atmosphere around him, lures him towards wrong. How to prevent this radicalization should be our priority. We need to promote Sufism and teachings of our Gurus. We don\u2019t need any foreign model to deal with this menace,\u201d Sinha said, adding that religious scholars are the torch bearers and hold the key to tackle the challenges like radicalization.<\/em><\/p>\n

The LG said that at times it has been seen that even educated youth tread wrong path. \u201cIf that happens, parents and religious scholars need to play their part. At the same time, mainstream media shouldn\u2019t blow things out of proportion by focusing on a single case,\u201d he said, adding that the role models for the youth should be Maqbool Sherwani and Brigadier Rajinder.<\/em><\/p>\n

He said that radicalization should not be associated with a specific religion. \u201cThere is a need for Islamic Scholars to formulate a policy and a process by which a helpless person, who is exposed to a violent ideology, is prevented from getting radicalized,\u201d said the Lt Governor.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Lt Governor appreciated the efforts being made to discuss the role of religious leaders and women in creating violence-free society, Counter-Radicalization and modernization of Madrassa education.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJ&K has remained home to diverse religious and cultural influences which deeply enriched its pluralistic ethos. No development and progress is possible without sustained peace, communal harmony and brotherhood,\u201d said the Lt Governor. \u201cThe Lt Governor emphasized the need for restoration of the pristine glory of J&K as an abode of peace, amity, communal harmony and brotherhood and urged the people to come forward in achieving this goal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He said that \u201cViolence has no place in any civilized society and peaceful co-existence is the best means to resolve problems.\u201d\u2014(KNO)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
