“In a place like Kashmir, where there are sufi saints everywhere, there is no place for violence and militancy.”
“Sufi saints like Syed Simnani, who gave blood and sweat to promote peace and to defeat violence, there is no place for any sort of violence.”
“UT administration is committed to promote the vision of Sufi saints like Syed Simnani and promote the culture of peace and progress in the region.”
“Unfortunately some elements and the neighbouring country do not want peace to be promoted in Kashmir.
“Youth who have chosen the wrong path must shun violence. Those trying to mislead youth by pushing them towards violence are playing with the sentiments of the people of Kashmir”, Sinha said.(IANS)
