A parliamentary committee today sought an immediate review of the strategy to counter violence perpetrated by Pak-aided militants in Jammu and Kashmir and said Government should exercise "abundant caution" while following its `healing touch' policy.

Stating that the policy to provide 'healing touch' to the innumerable people inflicted by cross-border terrorism had been widely welcomed, the standing committee of the Home Ministry said it was "expected to dawn a new beginning for the people who have been subjected to one of the worst kinds of terrorism witnessed in Independent India".

"In other words, a fresh process has been initiated to build bridges between the tormented people and their elected representatives," it said in its report tabled in Parliament today.

However, while following such a policy, "abundant caution is called for on the part of the Government especially to ensure that the morale of the security forces is not affected in any way", the report said.

Referring to unabated instances of cross-border terrorism especially against minorities and Pakistan's efforts to intensify it, the Committee said "the situation, thus, calls for immediate review of the strategy to counter the violence being perpetrated by the militants". (PTI)
