Jammu And Kashmir Assembly Elections Highlighted by Rajnath Singh's Remarks on Pakistan
Rajnath Singh's Comments on Pakistan and Jammu And Kashmir Assembly Elections
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took a jibe at Pakistan during a rally in the Gurez assembly segment, emphasizing that if relations had been friendly, India would have offered a larger bailout package than what Pakistan sought from the IMF. He stressed that Prime Minister Modi's development packages for Jammu and Kashmir have far exceeded those amounts.
Historical Context and Development Initiatives
Referring to Modi's special package for Jammu and Kashmir from 2014-15, Singh highlighted that funds allocated have reached Rs 90,000 crore.
- Vajpayee's Remarks: Singh invoked former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s wisdom, emphasizing the need for positive neighborly relations.
- Financial Mismanagement in Pakistan: He criticized Pakistan for misusing foreign aid, claiming it funds terrorism.
Kashmir's Future and Stability
Singh expressed optimism about the future of Jammu and Kashmir, stating it will regain its beauty. He tied this vision to achieving Vajpayee's hope of 'Insaniyat, Jamhooriyat, and Kashmiriyat' within the valley.
Singh asserted that past and current Pakistani actions aim to destabilize Jammu and Kashmir, urging Pakistan to cease support for terror camps. He reassured that India's military readiness is firm should any threats from Pakistan arise.
