Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for reaching out to the people of Kashmir.

Kicking off the BJP campaign for the Assembly poll in Maharashtra, he blamed the Congress for lack of development in Jammu and Kashmir since Independence.

“We have to embrace each Kashmiri. We have to create a new paradise,” Modi said during his rally in Nashik. “Till now, we used to say ‘Kashmir hamara hai’. Now we should say ‘Kashmir ko phir se swarg banana hai’.... ‘Har Kashmiri ko gale lagana hai’,” Modi said.

Justifying abrogation of Article 370, Modi said it was necessary to keep India united. “This decision will help fulfil aspirations of the people of J&K,” he said. Blaming Pakistan for creating trouble in the Valley, Modi said attempts were being made to stir up unrest in the state. “The youth, mothers and sisters have made up their mind to put behind violence. They want development and jobs,” Modi said. He asked political leaders not to make loose statements on Ram Temple. “Many people are making loose statements. The SC is hearing the matter. It should be respected. We trust the top court,” he said.
