August 16, 2017 22:43

Home Minister Rajnath Singh today termed Prime Minister Narendra Modis outreach to Kashmiris as heartwarming and said the NDA government believes that common people in the state want to be active stakeholders in the peace process.

In an article, Decoding PMs Speech, the home minister said it was heartwarming to see Modi make his government's stand clear that the Kashmir problem cannot be resolved by use of "gaali" (abusive language) or "goli" (bullets).

On the contrary, it could only be resolved by embracing the common Kashmiri. The Centre has been consistent in its belief that the common Kashmiri wants to be an active stakeholder in the peace process, he said in the piece circulated to media houses.

Singh said the Kashmiris have been made victim by certain vested interests who do not want peace in the valley. The prime minister in his speech appealed to those who take recourse to violence and exhorted them to abjure violence and adopt democratic means to voice their concerns and

grievances, he said.
