We can't win the war against militancy unless entire country supports us : Mehbooba Mufti

New Delhi, Jul 15 (IBNS) : Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday in New Delhi to discuss the security situation in Kashmir.

According to media reports, both were understood to have discussed the need for garnering wider support to tackle militancy and the general unrest in the valley.

"The war we are fighting in Kashmir isn’t that of law and order problems. We cant win this war unless different political parties and the entire country supports us,” she told reporters after meeting the Home Minister.

“Foreign powers are behind the attacks that are taking place. Now, even China has started meddling in our affairs,” Mufti said while referring to the ongoing military stand-off with China over Doklam in Sikkim sector.

However, she expressed  happiness over the major political parties making joint efforts for a solution to the Kashmir issue.

“I am happy that the political parties have come together to find a solution to problems in Kashmir,” Mufti said.

Kashmir has been on boil for about a year with terror attacks taking place at regular intervals and a large section of the people, especially the youth, putting up violent resistance to security against carrying on with anti-terrorist operations.

On July 12, three Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists were killed by security forces near Budgam district in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier this week, seven people were shot dead when militants attacked a bus carrying more than  50 Amarnath Yatra pilgrims in Anantnag district.
