KASHMIR-PM 3LST

Singh said there were elements trying to weaken the
resolve of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and trying to
undermine their lawful efforts.
"I urge the state government to take effective action to
protect its policemen and their families. We should not do
anything to demoralise the security forces," he said.
The Prime Minister said local body elections should be
held early to increase people's participation in democratic
governance and to ensure political empowerment at the
grassroots level.
"I would urge you to build a consensus on a practical
and realisable vision of Jammu and Kashmir's future. And the
people have to be convinced that this future has to be
grounded in political and economic realities of our time," he
said.
The Prime Minister endorsed the statement by young MPs
of all parties to the youth in Kashmir to exercise restraint
and have trust in the power of dialogue.
"Every possible efforts should be made to reach out to
the youth in Jammu and Kashmir. We must respond in a sincere
and substantive manner to their genuine aspirations for
freedom from fear and freedom to build for themselves a life
of dignity, security and well-being," he said. PTI SKL
