New Delhi: As part of the Centre’s outreach to Jammu and Kashmir, Home Minister Rajnath Singh will undertake a two-day visit to Ladakh region beginning on Monday during which he will interact with a cross-section of people.
Singh will hold meetings with delegations of political parties, civil society groups and individuals in Leh and in Kargil on October 4 and take their suggestions on resolution of Kashmir issue.
This will be the fourth visit of the Home Minister to Jammu and Kashmir ever since the unrest began in the state following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani on July 8.
Singh had led an all-party delegation to Srinagar and Jammu on September 4-5.
The leaders of various political leaders met over 400 people who came in 50 different delegations representing various sections of society in Srinagar and Jammu. Earlier, the Home Minister had visited Srinagar on August 24-25 and July 23-24.
Meanwhile talking to reporters, the Home Minister said Indian soldiers have displayed their valour to the entire world and made the country proud by the manner in which they carried out ‘surgical strikes’ against terror launch pads across the Line of Control.
“The country as well as the whole world is aware of this (surgical strikes)..the way our jawans displayed valour and have made India proud,” he said after inaugurating a ‘smart toilet’ constructed here under Swachh Bharat Mission.
Responding to a query on doubts raised by Pakistan over the operation as India did not release the footage of the operation, the Home Minister said, “Just wait and watch”.
On Friday, Army had trashed media reports in Pakistan about Indian casualties during the operation in which about seven terror shelters across the Line of Control were targetted.
Army had also said “black propaganda” was being carried out by some Pakistani TV channels showing “morphed” video clips depicting Indian Army casualties.
