Pelling (Sikkim):, ‘Kashmir is ours, Kashmiris are ours and Kashmiriyat is also ours,’ Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday, asserting that the Modi government will find a “permanent solution” to the Kashmir problem.
The home minister’s assertion came amid continued unrest in the Kashmir valley. Addressing a public reception here in this tiny northeastern state, Singh accused Pakistan of trying to “destabilise” India by fomenting trouble in Kashmir. “But I want to tell all of you that our government will find a permanent solution to the Kashmir issue,” he said, without elaborating. Kashmir is in a vice-like grip of violence since the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces in July last year. Though there was a brief lull, violence erupted again on April 9 this year when the bypoll to Srinagar Lok Sabha seat was held. (PTI)
