JAMMU: A pro-BJP think-tank held a session on the current unrest in Kashmir and the way forward while deliberating on various issues confronting the nation.
India Foundation organised the 5th edition of Young Thinkers Meet 2016-–a two-day conclave of young intellectuals–and discussed various other issues confronting the society, nation and Governments, apart from Kashmir at Patnitop health resort about 120 km from here. The conclave concluded today.
The current situation in Kashmir Valley and the way forward was deliberated upon by various thinkers in the presence of some top BJP and RSS leaders at the conclave at Patnitop, sources privy to the deliberations said.
“A half-an-hour discussion on the ongoing situation in Kashmir was held in which speakers and experts put forth their point of view to the young thinkers,” the sources said.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav, who also heads the India Foundation, however, said that the conclave had nothing to do with “Kashmir issues”.
“Thinkers Meet held at Patnitop is an annual event. Nothing to do with Kashmir issues except that d venue is in d state. No kite flying,” he tweeted.
The sources said the role of security forces in dealing with the situation and how the ongoing unrest was being instigated and backed by Pakistan also figured during the deliberations. (AGENCIES)
