Targeting the people of Kashmir passing through the turmoil, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that bullets or abuses can not solve Kashmir issue and it can be solved by embracing every Kashmiri.
On the occasion of 71st Independence Day, Narendra Modi emphasized that in the 56-minute address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, security is a top priority.
He rejected casteism and communalism and said that violence can not be accepted in the name of faith.
In his address for the fourth time, he called upon the Red Fort to embrace the people of Kashmir, "not by abuse, not by bullet, by changing the necklace .... The problem will be solved, by embracing every Kashmiri.
Modi said that various tricks are going to create problems in state by few separatist states. But the government is committed to make Kashmir a paradise again.
Modi said that not only the Jammu and Kashmir government but the whole country is with them to help fulfill the dream of development of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
This remark of the Prime Minister has come at a time when unrest and violence in the Kashmir Valley have been made for some time now.
Stating that there is no softening of terrorism, he said that India's security is a top priority for the government.
Modi also said that India's status in the world is increasing and many countries are cooperating with India in the fight against terrorism.
The Prime Minister said that India is capable of facing challenges in any front ... water, land, sky or cyber. They said this in the backdrop of conflict with China in Doklam.
