Govt plans to act tough on separatists, may curtail funds and security

September 06, 2016 18:13

Several media reports have suggested that the government may scale down security of Kashmiri separatist leaders, who snubbed members of all-party delegation on Sunday.

According to reports, the delegation has suggested to cut down funds to the separatists and ban their foreign travels.

The all-party delegation seeking to end the turbulence in Kashmir concluded its visit on Monday with no breakthrough.

Unhappy at the stubborn refusal of Hurriyat leaders to meet some MPs who had literally knocked at their doors in Srinagar, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said that their conduct was against "democracy, humanity or even 'Kashmiriyat' (Kashmiri ethos)".
