Srinagar: Breaking his silence over the hounding and harassment of Kashmiris in mainland Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the youth should not be targetted and ‘Kashmir is with us in our fight against terror’.
Modi was speaking at a public rally in Rajasthan’s Tonk.
“Our fight is against terror, the enemies of humanity… Our fight is for Kashmir not against Kashmir, not against Kashmiris,” Modi said, according to Hindustan Times report.
“What happened to Kashmiri youths in the last few days…It does not matter whether the incident was small or big, such things should not happen. Kashmiri youths are victims of terror. Every child of Kashmir is with India in our fight against terror,” said PM Modi.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah welcomed the statement of PM Modi. “Thank you @narendramodi Sahib. Aaj aap ne hamaray dil ki baat keh di (you said what I have in my heart),” wrote Abdullah on Twitter soon after the prime minister made the comment at his rally.
