NEW DELHI: Kashmiri voters are determined to “defy the diktats” of terrorists, Union Minister Jitendra Singh today said, stressing that the terrorists tend to create volatile atmosphere ahead of polls.
South Kashmir will hold by-elections in two parliamentary constituencies – Srinagar and Anantnag – next month.
The minister’s comments came as three civilians were killed in action by security forces against protesters near an encounter site in Budgam district in Kashmir.
The anti-militancy operation ended with the killing of the lone militant. (AGENCIES)
