JAMMU: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today hit out at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for his comments on Kashmir made at an event in the US, saying national issues should not be politicised.
He countered Rahul’s contention that terrorism in Kashmir had increased under the Modi Government by reminding him of the situation which existed in the Valley in 1989 as well as 7-8 years back.
“National issues should not be politicised… We cannot forget about 1989 (when militancy in Kashmir started). What was the situation then? What was the situation 7-8 years ago? I don’t blame anybody,” Singh told reporters. (AGENCIES)
