Jammu:
Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has opposed the proposal of the state government for granting amnesty to militants in Pakistan willing to return Jammu and to join the mainstream.
Azad said the move could be counter productive and a threat to the security of Jammu & Kashmir.
"Who will give the guarantee for the Kashmiri youth in PoK who want to return? It needs to be checked, who wants to come. Whether they want to spread terrorism or they want to shun the path of terrorism. It is not that easy. Pakistan can make any move anytime. It can say that 1000 men want to return after leaving the path of terrorism. Pakistan is saying it would be difficult to believe in that. Terrorists can infiltrate as well. So a proper verification needs to be done in this," he said.
