December 06, 2014 18:07

A day after four terror attacks set Kashmir Valley back on its heels, BJP today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go ahead with his election rally in Srinagar as scheduled on December 8.

"The Prime Minister is addressing the election rally as per schedule on December 8. There is no change in that programme," former Union minister and senior BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters.

He said "people of Jammu and Kashmir are waiting eagerly for the Prime Minister" who will address gatherings at Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium in the Valley.

The BJP leader said prime minister invited his Pakistani counterpart to the oath taking ceremony and made it clear to him that the country is ready for dialogue but the talks cannot be held amid the sound of blasts.
