After withdrawing support to the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP government in J&K, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that terrorism will be wiped out from Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking at a function in his parliamentary constituency, Lucknow, he broadly hinted on giving more free hand to the Army under the Governor's rule to end cross border terrorism and restore peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

"The priority of the Central government is now to put an end to the cross border terrorism and establish peace in Jammu and Kashmir. Centre will not tolerate any terror activities now in the Valley," he warned Pakistan and terror groups.

The Union Minister claimed that the Centre stood to its promise during the holy month of Ramzan but now it's over and the security forces will launch a massive operation to wipe out terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir.

"Ramzan is over and our forces are ready to take on with terror groups with all its might. We have only one goal – no more terror activities in the troubled state now," said he.

After holding a high-level security meet in Delhi on Tuesday, the Union Home minister hinted that a major military operation is in the offing in Jammu and Kashmir to check cross border terrorism and flush out terrorists who have infiltrated the Valley with the support of Pakistan and locals.

Earlier, Singh inaugurated a laboratory in a private hospital and lauded the role of private hospitals in the health sector to provide best medical care. He claimed that about six crore poor families were benefited from Modi government's health insurance schemes in Uttar Pradesh alone.

Singh is on a two-day visit to Lucknow. He will be the chief guest during the fourth International Yoga Day being organised at Raj Bhawan on Thursday. Singh will perform Yoga along with Governor Ram Naik, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his Cabinet.
