We want permanent solution to Kashmir based on five Cs, says Rajnath Singh

Srinagar, September 11 : Exuding confidence that the situation in the state had improved as compared to that of the last year, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said the government is working towards a permanent solution to all issues in Kashmir on the basis of “five Cs”.
The Home Minister described these as “compassion, communication, co-existence, confidence-building and consistency”.
“The situation has changed and it is much better than before,” Rajnath said while addressing a press conference here on Monday morning before leaving for Jammu as part of his four-day visit to J&K.
During his visit that began on Saturday, he reviewed security and Prime Minister’s Development Package, interacted with political parties and other organisations and visited Anantnag. In Jammu on Monday and Tuesday, he will have meetings with a cross-section of people.
“In the last couple of days, what I have seen is that the tree of peace has not dried up in Kashmir, green shoots (branches) of peace are visible in dry trees,” Rajnath said, adding that the Centre had been talking of a permanent solution to Kashmir and that the “people of J&K want to shape their future with their own work”.
