Alijapur, Aug 9 (Agencies): Prime Minister Modi reached out to Kashmiris on Tuesday appealing for peace and harmony in the troubled state.
Addressing a public gathering at Alijapur in Madhya Pradesh, Modi called upon the Kashmiri youth to restore the state as paradise on earth.
“Only a handful of misled people are hurting the great land of Kashmir. India loves Kashmir.”
Modi's statement came a day after J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti urged him to bring peace in Kashmir following Vajpayee’s footsteps.
"When Vajpayee was PM, he had adopted Insaniyat, Kashmiriyat and Jamooriyat. We are his followers,” said Modi in his speech.
“I want to tell people of Kashmir it can also have the azadi that India feels," Modi added.
