Kashmir unrest: Rajnath meets CM Mehbooba, discusses security situation

August 25, 2016 12:15

Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday met Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to discuss the security situation in the Valley.

Singh, who is on a two-day visit to review the security situation in the Valley, will meet members of the civil society on Thursday.

Amid tight security, Singh drove through the tense city roads dotted with para-military forces who ensured he did not have to face any protesters.

"Violence has not changed anything in Kashmir but only brought miseries and bloodshed to the state. Unfortunately, some sections of the youth resorting to violence are impeding the resolution process instead of facilitating it," Mufti said at an event yesterday.

She said violence has changed nothing on political spectrum of Jammu and Kashmir, but brought mayhem, miseries, economic disaster, academic breakdown and social disorder to the state.
