PM Modi breaks silence on Kashmir, says sad to see youngsters carrying stones instead of laptops

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday finally broke his silence over the Kashmir issue. Evoking the Vajpayee model of 'insaniyat', the prime minister appealed for peace in Jammu and Kashmir, at a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Alirajpur district, reported NDTV.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, earlier on Tuesday, also visited Chandrashekhar Azad's birthplace in the tribal-dominated Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh and paid rich tributes to the revolutionary leader.


"Be it the Jammu and Kashmir government under Mehboobaji or the central government, we are finding solution to all problems through development," Modi said at the rally.

He said only a "handful of people who have been misled" were causing trouble in the Kashmir Valley, where protests, since the killing of rebel commander Burhan Wani on 8 July, left over 55 people dead and thousands injured.

"Some people are causing Kashmir a lot of harm," the prime minister said. "Kashmir wants peace. Whatever Kashmiris want for betterment of their livelihood, the Centre will provide."

In his speech, Modi made a direct appeal to the youngsters of Kashmir, saying that those who should be holding laptops, bats, balls in their hands & dreams in their hearts are the ones carrying stones.
