NEW DELHI: As protests continued for the 21st day today in Kashmir, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said “highly motivated” people in some parts of the Valley, who are “out of national mainstream”, were making it difficult for the Government to improve the situation there.
Delivering a lecture on cyber security, Minister of State for Home Rijiju advocated for building a responsive society for any Government to succeed and reasoned that any “adverse public mindset will create big hurdle which is difficult to take care of.”
He cited the example of Kashmir, which has been witnessing an unrest for the past three weeks after killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces on July 8. In the aftermath of this encounter, 47 people have died during protests. (AGENCIES)
