  Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh speaking in the Rajya Sabha

  #I want to inform everyone that I called the Govt in J&K asking everyone to exercise as much restraint as possible

  #We had asked forces to not use fatal weapons. 1948 civilians were injured, many already discharged

  #When PM Modi was on foreign tour, I didn't call him but he did. He inquired about Kashmir situation and steps to be taken

  #1744 injured civilians treated & have been discharged. 1671 security force personnel were injured & one jawan died

  #And the first meeting after arriving in India was a review meeting on J&K situation

  #We are strict with the militants, and out sympathies lie with the civilians

  #I am constantly in touch with J&K CM and whatever needs to be done to stabilise the state we will do it

  "I think Govt should be happy that they get this kind of support from Opposition; we would've been happy if we had that support. But if we don't say the things that we are supposed to, it will be an insult to our sense of duty. No doubt we have to speak in the same voice, but what is that voice?" said Abhishek Manu Singhvi in Rajya Sabha.

  GN Azad in RS

   

  # Governments are run on trust and faith, but people of Jammu & Kashmir have a sense of mistrust towards the current Government.

  # I am not saying that Kashmiri people had complete faith when Congress was in power, but there was a sense of trust in some corner.

  Ghulam Nabi Azad in Rajya Sabha

  # People have been killed in all 10 districts of Jammu & Kashmir, maximum damage was done in 4 districts of South Kashmir.

  # Should locals be treated the same way we treat militants? Should same bullets that are used on militants be used on innocents people of J&K?

  # Shouldn't there be any difference between militants and common man?

  # We are with you in the process to end militancy, but we don't support this kind of treatment with civilians.
