On December 11, 2025, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha handed over appointment letters to 41 next-of-kin of terror victims from the Jammu division, marking a decisive policy shift under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration. Declaring “terror victims will get jobs and terrorists will get bullets,” Sinha contrasted this with past practices of awarding jobs to militants’ kin, crediting the 2019 Article 370 abrogation for dismantling the terror ecosystem. He announced reopening old cases and registering new FIRs against perpetrators, including cross-border actors, while vowing no government relief for terrorism-linked families. This initiative, following 94 similar appointments on July 28, 2025, bolsters economic security for victims, counters Pakistan-backed militancy, and signals India’s firm strategic resolve to eradicate terrorism and foster lasting peace in the region.
