Mehbooba welcomes Modi’s Kashmir remark

Srinagar: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has welcomed the remark of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about Kashmir during his Independence Day address on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister had said that not with bullets and abuse (goli aur gaali) can the issues of Kashmir be resolved but by embracing the people with love.

In a statement, the Chief Minister said she has all along believed that dialogue and peaceful means only can help in resolving issues as the futility of violence has been established all around.

Mehbooba said the slogan-Bandook say na goli say/Baat banay gi boli say coined by her Party some 15 years ago is as relevant today as it was then.
