NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday said that the houses of those providing shelter to the terrorists would be “razed to ground,” hinting at bulldozer justice.

“I have directed the forces not to harm any innocent but the culprits will not be spared. If anyone provides shelter to terrorists, then his house will be razed to the ground. There will be no compromise on it,” the LG said amid rise in terror incidents in the valley.

“However, this is not an atrocity, but a demand for justice and such justice will continue,” he added.

Sinha, without taking any names, criticised those who issue statements condemning such acts for “formality”.

“If people do not stand up against such elements, this scenario will never change. I think those who only issue statements for formality are worse than them (terrorists),” the LG said.
