'How's the josh?': J&K LG Manoj Sinha interacts with soldiers in Baramulla and Uri

NEW DELHI: J&K LG Manoj Sinha visited and interacted with soldiers on the frontline in Baramulla and Uri sectors on Friday, boosting their morale and exhorting them to give a befitting reply to Pakistan as it tries to target Indian military establishments and citizens.

“How’s the josh?" the LG asked, borrowing the popular dialogue from Bollywood movie ‘Uri — The Surgical Strike’. “High, Saheb!” came the prompt reply from the troops, which the Raj Bhavan said “reflects their readiness to destroy the enemy”.

“I am seeing determination in your eyes and I want to tell the people across the country that they are in safe hands. Entire nation is drawing inspiration from your valour,” Sinha said while addressing the soldiers.

He said Narendra Modi govt has vowed to neutralise terrorists. “My message is clear--if you inflict injury on any Indian citizen, we will hunt you down,” said the LG.

Singh said that while “Operation Sindoor” had avenged the Pahalgam terror attack by destroying terror factories inside Pakistan, “the enemy is targeting our military establishment and our citizens”.

“We are giving them a befitting reply,” he added.

“If someone tries to disturb our peace repeatedly then they shall be taught a lesson that their next 10 generations will remember. All 140 crore Indians are standing strong with our soldiers,” Sinha told the troops.
