He said every Kashmiri wants peace in the state but because of some miscommunication, incidents of violence have happened here. If Kashmir is not a problem, than why is India keeping 700,000 soldiers in Indian held Kashmir.
Modi said now was not the time to send negotiators to Srinagar and that there must be no compromise on national security. “We are ready to address the grievances of all sections under the Constitution”, the Prime Minister said. “The time has come for Pakistan to answer for its atrocities in Balochistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir”, Mr. Modi said.
The CPI-M suggested to the government that it should “stop the use of pellet guns and start confidence building measures with the youth”, he said. In fact, the opposition went along with the government on its hardline approach towards Pakistan.
Home minister Rajnath Singh told the meeting that an all-party delegation to the Kashmir will be considered “after grounds were prepared in consultation with chief minister Mehbooba Mufti”. “DeM request all the people mostly women to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day with fervor and stage protest against India rule in Kashmir”, she said. “All parties put forth their concerns in one voice and with the right intent”.

Efforts are also being made to improve relations with Afghanistan, said Aziz but blamed the recent terrorist attack in Quetta on the Afghan intelligence agency – the National Directorate of Security (NDS) in collusion with RAW.
Quoting former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Azad said he urged the government to find a solution. Curfew remained in force in Anantnag town while restrictions continued in Shopian, Kulgam and Pulwama towns.
Firstly, owing to their Sufi and Kashmiriyat moorings, the people of Kashmir should normally be at ease with the secular and inclusive ideals of India rather than with the fundamentalist and extremist orientation of a terrorist state like Pakistan.
