New Delhi: Minister of State to the PMO Jitendra Singh said on Monday that not enough was being done in Kashmir in terms of governance which has led to the present state of unrest in the Valley.
Speaking exclusively to CNN-News18, Singh said, "I will not be a hypocrite and say no. Much more can be done in current situation."
Without naming the PDP, Singh made it clear that non-implementation of the basic model of governance in the state has bred deep alienation amongst Kashmiri youngsters.
While he blamed Pakistan for fomenting trouble in the Valley using social media platforms like WhatsApp, he also said that Pakistan's nefarious designs can be thwarted by implementing the model of good governance in Jammua and Kashmir.
"Terrorism is sponsored by ISI and the powers sitting in Islamabad. The world view is gradually coming to India's point of view. Pakistan stands exposed as epicentre of terrorism around this area," Singh said.
Taking potshots at the state government, Singh said, "Governance has been a difficult task in Kashmir. But the very art of governance in such a state requires that those who hold the reins ensure equitable development of all three regions (Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh)."
Mufti had said on Monday that dialogue is the way forward in Kashmir. When asked about the comment, Singh said, "Dialogue with whom?"
