Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said the era when some people profited from terror acts is over. He warned that those who sympathize with terrorism will face the law and lose any protection they once enjoyed.
“The time when elements getting benefits from terror acts is gone. The terror sympathizer will not be spared,” Sinha, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said while addressing a gathering in Kupwara.
