UDHAMPUR: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi listening, Chief Minister today asked him to give hope to the Kashmiri youth about creating ‘New Jammu and Kashmir’ since he is a “courageous” leader who does whatever he decides.

She thanked Modi for supporting her solidly last year when the State was “crossing a river of fire”, a reference to the five-month-long unrest in Kashmir.

“Last year was like crossing a river of fire. There is a lot of improvement since then but a lot is still to be done. That cannot be done by my Government alone,” Mehbooba said at a rally here just before the Prime Minister spoke after inaugurating a tunnel between Kashmir and Jammu.

“You are a courageous leader. You do whatever you decide. I have lot of confidence in you,” she said, addressing the Prime Minister amid chants of ‘Modi, Modi’. (AGENCIES)
