In a significant development a group of 27 European lawmakers will travel to Kashmir on a two- day visit to see for themselves the ground situation. This outreach by the government is meant to counter Pakistan’s narrative on the situation in the valley .
These members of European Parliamentarians (MEPs) also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who categorically told them that an urgent action was needed against those supporting and sponsoring terrorism and asserted that there should be zero tolerance for terrorism.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval briefed these MEPs on cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan. Doval also hosted a lunch for the European lawmakers.
Those present also included some Kashmiri leaders, including former deputy chief minister of J&K Muzaffar Baig, former People’s Democratic Party leader Altaf Bukhari, some newly-elected Block Development Council (BDC) members in the state as also Sandeep Chattoo, co-owner of Real Kashmir Football Club.
