"The ongoing violence in the Kashmir valley is not related to either law and order or development but is instead an issue related to separatism and terrorism and it is essential to understand the design of the forces behind it," Joshi said.Charging prime minister Manmohan Singh, home minister PChidambaram and external affairs minister SM Krishna of speaking in different voices over the issue, he said it showedthat the Centre lacked a concrete policy on it.Claiming that the then NDA government had taken a written undertaking from Pakistan that it would not allow its land tobe used for spreading terrorism, Joshi said prime ministerManmohan Singh diluted the entire matter by stating thatPakistan itself was a victim of terrorism.
