Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday delivered a stern warning to Pakistan, asserting that Kashmir has always been a part of India and that no one can separate it from its territory. Speaking at an event in poll-bound Tripura, the Home Minister in an aggressive tone said, “Our neighbouring country, Pakistan, continuously tries to create havoc and destabilise India. It continues to engage in nefarious activities in Kashmir.”
The Home Minister said that Kashmir was, is and will always be an integral part of the Indian territory. “Kisi ne maa ka doodh nahi piya jo Kashmir ko Bharat se alag kar de. Kashmir hamara tha, hai aur rahega (there is no one who can separate Kashmir from India, Kashmir was, is and will remain ours),” Singh was quoted as saying by ANI.

Kashmir has seen an increased level of ceasefire violation from the other side of the border in 2017 which has continued in the new year. Last week, Rajnath slammed Pakistan for continuously violating the ceasefire agreement with India, saying Islamabad should not misinterpret India’s “decency”. “India is no more a weak country. India has now become a powerful country.” Singh said and added that Pakistan, being a neighbour, should have a friendly attitude towards India.
The statement comes just weeks after a Pakistani envoy to the United Nations (UN) had raked up the issue of Kashmir during a UN Security Council meeting debate on the Middle East. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had also ruled out any mediation effort between India and Pakistan. India has been opposed to any third-party intervention in resolving the Kashmir issue while Pakistan has continuously sought mediation to sort out the differences.
Targeting the Congress, Singh claimed that there were “serious allegations of corruption” to the tune of Rs 4 lakh crore against the UPA government under the leadership of Manmohan Singh.
The election on 60 legislative assembly seats in Tripura will be held on February 18, and the results will be declared on March 3.

Sahib SinghFeb 4, 2018 at 12:37 amIf you want to know the real reason why there is unrest in Kashmir then stop blaming Pak-is-tan and just listen to Rajnath Singh. It is he and politicians like him that are the face of unrest in Kashmir. Why? Because just like what Rajnath Singh is doing and saying today in poll bound Tripura to stirr up emotions and get votes, these crooked politicians have used the Kashmir issue to rally Hindu voters to support their bloody regimes. Indian regimes of Congress and BJP are no different than the dictators and rouge rulers of other parts of the world except they do their dirty work under the guise of faux Indian Democracy. India by no means can be considered a democracy. NO MINORITY CAN GET ANY LAW PASSED IN PARLIAMENT TO HELP PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS. ON THE OTHER HAND HINDU MAJORITY HAS PASSED AMENDMENTS INTERFERING IN THE MINORITY'S CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS. MINORITIES ARE NEITHER SAFE NOR PROTECTED UNDER THE HINDU RULE. Democracy exists but for the Hindus in India.Reply- Pawan dubeFeb 4, 2018 at 12:29 amWell what can you expect from this loud mouth douche bag free loader/looter...One of the worst HM after Schinde...Welcome to new level of feku governance .....Reply
