JAMMU: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Pakistan is a “positive step” which would lead to more such steps, Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh said today while noting that peace parleys between the two countries would benefit Jammu and Kashmir the most.
“This (PM’s Pakistan visit) is a positive step which will lead to other and subsequently other leads will follow. A meeting ground has been formed to discuss other issues,” Singh, who hails from Jammu, told reporters here.
He said Jammu and Kashmir which has borne the brunt of terrorism would be the biggest beneficiary of the peace parleys between India and Pakistan.
“There is no second opinion about the fact that in the second half or quarter of the century, Jammu Kashmir is the greatest sufferer as far as terrorism is concerned and therefore any process which seeks to restore peace in the subcontinent and the region, will certainly have the most important benefit for Jammu and Kashmir,” said the MP from the State.
He said the entire world was surprised over the Prime Minister’s visit to Pakistan also also welcomed his move aimed at mending relationship between the two nations. (AGENCIES)
