Centre ready for talks with 'everyone' on Kashmir: Rajnath

September 24, 2018 19:08

The government is ready for dialogue with 'everyone' on Kashmir issue, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, days after India cancelled a foreign minister-level talks with Pakistan.

Singh, however, asserted that terrorism in Kashmir Valley is 'Pakistan-sponsored'.

"I think the (Kashmir) matter will be resolved. We are ready to talk to everyone," he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the Central Zonal Council in Lucknow.

The home minister said as far as terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is concerned, all security agencies are working in coordination.

"Terrorism in Kashmir is Pakistan-sponsored," he said.

India on Friday had called off a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries in New York, barely 24 hours after agreeing to the engagement, citing the brutal killings of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir and Islamabad releasing postage stamps 'glorifying' Kashmiri militant Burhan Wani. -- PTI
