Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said for the first time in 30 years that a government has acted against army men responsible for killing two innocent teenagers in Budgam recently.

"Anyone makes a mistake... for the first time in 30 years, it is the Modi government's wonder, that army admitted at a press conference that the killing of two youth (at Chattergam in Budgam district) was a mistake.

"An inquiry commission probed the matter and those who fired the bullets were slapped with charges. This is the proof of my good intentions. This has not happened in 30 years. I have come to provide justice to you," Modi said in his maiden election rally in the Valley.

Two youth were killed and two others injured in army firing at Chattergam on November 3, an incident that sparked protests at many places in Kashmir.
