Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday discussed the prevailing security situation in the state with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
"In the meeting, which lasted for nearly an hour, the chief minister discussed with the prime minister the law and order situation and the situation along the borders in view of the escalation of tension in the region," an official spokesperson said here.
This was Mehbooba's first meeting with Modi after the Indian Army carried out surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads across the LoC in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on the intervening night of September 28 and 29.
The chief minister, who is in the national capital since Tuesday, also urged the prime minister to reach out to the people of Jammu and Kashmir with tangible confidence building measures to address their political, economic and developmental concerns.
"The people in Kashmir have gone through enormous agony and pain and the time has come to reach out to them and apply a balm to their wounds through ample initiatives at political, economic and developmental levels," Mehbooba told Modi.
While expressing grave concern over the prevailing situation along the borders, the chief minister called for de-escalation of tension as, according to her, people of the state have been the worst sufferers of the hostility and confrontation in the region.
