NEW DELHI, Mar 29(Agencies): Director General of Police, Jammu & Kashmir, SP Vaid, met Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh here today and held a detailed discussion with him about the prevailing situation in Kashmir, in the aftermath of yesterday's violence which resulted in the death of three persons and injuries to others as well as injuries also to the security persons.
Director General of Police informed the Minister that, as per the inputs received, Pakistan ISI was trying to instigate and provoke innocent young boys to come out from their houses and reach the site of exchange of fire. There are also recorded messages indicating that as soon as an encounter begins, the Pakistan propaganda mill immediately gets into action. Dr Jitendra Singh said, it is the responsibility of both the administration as well as the civil society to make the youth of Kashmir understand the reality instead of getting instigated by a handful of Kashmir-centric politicians who have lodged their own children in safe havens in India's best metros and abroad, and are also seeking civil services jobs in the Government for them. Time has come, he said, for that the common youth of Kashmir should demand that if this so - called Jehad is so holy and great, then each of the separatist or Kashmir-centric leader should set an example by sending their own children to pelt stones and to stand in the line of fire during the counter militancy operations.
Lauding the role of security forces including the Army, Para-military and Jammu & Kashmir Police, Dr Jitendra Singh said, we have among the best forces in the world and the nation is eternally indebted to them. Therefore, he said, none of us should say or do anything which tends to lower the morale of the forces. Describing the stone pelting as "mercenary" stone pelting, Dr Jitendra Singh lambasted the so-called Kashmir leaders who are sponsored by Pakistan and are separatist only by convenience. Denouncing the remarks of a former Chief Minister who is contesting Lok Sabha by-election and using separatist rhetoric, Dr Jitendra Singh took a dig saying, "if he becomes a Minister tomorrow, he will overnight turn a nationalist"
