New Delhi, July 17: Expressing his concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the Valley post the gunning down of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh urged the people to cooperate with the government in this hour of crisis while stating that some unwanted elements had been misguiding the Kashmiris.
General (Retd) VK Singh in a statement asked the people of the Valley to step out of the crowd and become a part of the ‘epic-story' of India.
“Kashmir will always remain ours and there has been no change in thoughts since 1947 and neither will it ever come. In 2004, our Prime Minister said that the boundaries of India won't be altered anyhow, but the facility for inter-country transportation will be sanctioned. The early you accept the fact, the better the conditions will turn out to be,” VK Singh said.
“Cooperate with us so that we can help you. Whole world knows the power of India and knows that India has a very special recognition in future also. Do you want to be a part of this epic-story of India? It's my request, step out of the crowd and direct your future,” he added.
Stating that everyone was well aware about the present situation in the Kashmir Valley, VK Singh expressed his dismay over some people calling Wani a martyr and mourning his death.
“They have even put the Centre and state government on trial proving them guilty of forcefully suppressing the voice of the people of Kashmir. They are even pointing out that the military and police are the mouthpiece of the government,” he said.
“The people, who provoke them to participate in protests and riots, are answerable to the people of Kashmir,” he added while reaching out to the youth.
