Without naming the recent killing of Hizbul Mujahedeen ultra Burhan Wani in Kashmir by security forces, the Home minister said, “Terrorist in one country can not be the national hero of another nation”.
“We must never forget their struggle for the independence of the country and try to create the India of their dreams”, Singh said at the Smarak. It wants to destroy it and derail peace in the Valley, he said here while addressing a Tiranga rally.
Expressing his agony to see stones and firearms instead of pens, books and computer in the hands of the youth of Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has appealed to the students across India to treat the Kashmiris as their brothers and not to discriminate against them in any manner.
On the present spell of violence in Kashmir valley, the Hoe minister said, “The people of Kashmir are as dear to us as people of any other part of the counry”.
Recently, I went to Pakistan and you all know our neighbouring countrys misdeeds. The minister said that protests can not be a solution to the ongoing crisis in the Valley.
“Some people are trying to create hatred among Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Parsis by following the divide and rule trick adopted by the British”.
According to Singh, whenever China or Pakistan tried to show aggression at the borders in the past, our people stood united and challenged them. He laid wreaths at the statues of the three freedom fighters who belonged to Shahjahanpur.
