Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just finished addressing a public meeting in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur. Excerpts from his address:

-- Some misguided youngsters are pelting stones but see here, youth of Kashmir are using the same stones to build infrastructure, he said referring to 'Chenani-Nashri Tunnel' he inaugurated today.

-- Every Indian wants to see Jammu and Kashmir. The beauty of this land can draw so many people. Tourism will also bring economic growth.

-- Youth of Kashmir have a choice to select one of the two paths -- one of tourism the other of terrorism.

-- The path of bloodshed has not helped any one and will never help anyone.

-- I want to specially thank CM Mehbooba Mufti. The Centre announced a package for the state and work has begun on the same.

-- Whenever I come to Jammu and Kashmir, it is natural to remember the vision and work of Atal ji.

-- Our sole Mantra is development and the way we want to achieve that is through jan bhagidari (participation of people). We want to involve the youth.
