The ray of hope is for the restoration of statehood, as promised. That is the central demand of the people. Development schemes are welcome, but political rights are paramount. The attacks on Kashmiris outside must also be addressed firmly.

Good step. Security and development go hand in hand. Boosting the morale of our jawans at the border is non-negotiable. Respect for meeting the families of the fallen.
