Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti addressed the media after her meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the latter's residence in the nation's capital.

This was the first time in 50 days, since violence broke out in the Valley, that the CM met Modi to discuss the situation.

Here are the highlights of what she said to the media:

>> PM Modi like all of us is very concerned with the situation in J&K

>> Pakistan has been openly trying to provoke and fuel tensions in the valley

>> , Pakistan has repeatedly given up chances to talk and resolve the issue of violence in Kashmir

>> PM Modi reached out to Pakistan, went to Lahore, but then Pathankot happened

>> Pakistan missed another opportunity when they did not speak to Home Minister Rajnath Singh

>> Everyone wants peace in Kashmir. But talks can only take place with those interested in talks, not those instigating people

>> Aim of curfew is to protect children from injuries. If we don't impose curfew, what do we do?
