| Rajnath Singh may lead All-Party team To Kashmir on Sept 3 | | | Early Times Report
New Delhi, Aug 28: As part of centre's strategy to resolve the Kashmir issue, Home Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to lead the all-party delegation to the state on September 3.
With the curfew continuing in the Valley for the 51st consecutive day today, the home minister reviewed the situation with top BJP and government functionaries.
Singh went into a huddle with BJP President Amit Shah, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office and discussed with them the modalities of the all-party delegation's visit.
Sources said the meeting discussed possible individuals and groups with whom the delegation may interact.
The government has sounded out different political parties to convey the names of their representatives who will be part of the delegation.
When asked about what transpired at the meeting, Jitendra Singh refused to elaborate, only telling reporters that "Rajnath Singh is a senior leader and we have come for 'Margdarshan' (guidance)".
The meeting came on a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the Kashmir situation in his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme on All India Radio and a day after Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met him.
The Kashmir Valley has been gripped by unrest ever since the killing of Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani on July 8.
In his 'Mann Ki Baat' address, PM Modi said that any life lost in Kashmir, whether of any civilian or any security personnel, is the country's loss. "'Ekta' (unity) and 'Mamata' (affection) was the crux of all interactions I had recently on Kashmir situation," he said. PM Modi said those pushing the youth of Kashmir towards stone pelting will someday have to answer them. He also said that all political parties spoke in one voice on Kashmir, sending out a strong message to the world as well as the separatists. |
