HM briefs PM on Kashmir, to meet Shah, Jaitley in evening ahead of all-party meet tomorrow | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Sep 6: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the outcome of the All-Party Delegation (APD) he led to Jammu and Kashmir as part of efforts to bring peace to the trouble-torn Valley. The Home Minister will be discussing the issue again this evening at his residence with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, BJP chief Amit Shah and Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh, who hails from Kashmir. The meeting with the Prime Minister, who returned from his visit to Vietnam and China only last night, took place a day ahead of another interaction with the members of the delegation that went to Kashmir. According to Home Ministry sources, the meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon, and most probably on Parliament premises. The Home Minister briefed the Prime Minister about the delegation's visit besides the latest law and order situation in the Valley where more than 70 people have been killed during the violence triggered by the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. The use of pellet guns by security forces to control the violent mob which led to the blinding of a large number of youth had given another dimension to the Kashmir crisis and brought the Centre under heavy criticism following which the Home Minister had set up a committee to suggest alternative to the pellet guns. A day before going to Kashmir with the APD, the Home Minister is said to have cleared the use of chilli-filled grenades for control of crowds in place of pellet guns, which are to be used in rarest of rare cases. |
