New Delhi: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today accused Pakistan of trying to destabilize India and said cross-border terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir egged youths to stone security forces.
Rajnath Singh said in the Lok Sabha, “Not only the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the terrorists are trying to destabilize the whole country through their cowardice acts.”
He added, “The whole country is aware of this act of Pakistan. Our security forces are responding to them the way it is needed.”
Singh’s response came after Trinamool Congress member Saugata Roy raised the issue during Zero Hour.
Rajnath said: “A new trend has begun in Kashmir. When our security forces go to villages in search of terrorists, the youths of the region start pelting stones on security forces.
“Such stone pelters are being misled by Pakistan-sponsored forces.
He said, “Groups operating from Pakistan use Facebook and social media platforms to arrange these crowds.”
The Union Minister appealed to the youths of Kashmir not to be misled by anti-national forces.
