Every stone and weapon raised by misguided youths destabilises Jammu and Kashmir and the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said asking the people of state to make efforts to come out of this instability.
The prime minister, who is on his first visit to the state after announcing suspension of anti-militancy operations during holy month of Ramzan, said there are foreign powers at play in the state which do not want development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Every stone, every weapon, raised by misguided youths destabilises their own Jammu and Kashmir. The state will have to come out of this atmosphere of instability, he said.
Modi said the youths need to join mainstream development of India and of Kashmir for their future and that of coming generation.
He said the central and the state government have policy, intent and capability to take decisions to solve development issues of the state.
"I would urge everyone to channelise their energies in the development of the state. The solution to every problem is only development, development, development," he said.
The prime minister dedicated to the nation the 330-MW Kishenganga Power Project constructed in the Gurez area of Kashmir.
Modi also laid the foundation stone for the Srinagar Ring Road at the Sher-e-Kashmir International Conference Centre Srinagar.
The 42.1-km, four-lane Srinagar Ring Road will link Galandar in West Srinagar to Sumbal in Badnipora district.
