Amid mounting violence in occupied-Kashmir (IoK), Indian Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday that the Modi government would soon find a “permanent solution” to the Kashmir problem.

“Kashmir is ours, Kashmiris are ours and Kashmiriyat is also ours,” said India’s Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at a public event.
According to The Hindu, the Indian minister also accused Pakistan of provoking trouble in the valley.
“We hope that Pakistan will change. If it does not change, we will have to change them. After globalisation, one country can’t destabilise another country, the international community will not forget it,” he said.
Rajnath Singh also added that India wanted friendly relations with its neighbours including Pakistan.
Kashmir has been a disputed region between Pakistan and India since independence from Britain in 1947. Two of three wars have been fought over the valley.

Indian-held Kashmir witnessed deadly protests in 2016, after a popular separatist leader, Burhan Wani, was killed by Indian forces.
Last September, tension escalated when at least 19 Indian soldiers were killed in an assault on an army camp in Kashmir, an attack India blamed on Pakistan-based militants.
