EXCLUSIVE: Pakistan's nefarious aims in Kashmir will never succeed, General VK Singh on Nagrota encounter

India TV News  

A day after security forces killed four heavily armed Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Nagrota, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held a high-level meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and others to take stock of the security scenario on the region. Union Minister and former Army chief General VK Singh, who was also present in the meeting, said attempts to disturb peace and democratic processes in the region will never succeed. In an exclusive interaction with India TV, General VK Singh said that the huge cache of arms and ammunition recovered from terrorists following the Nagrota encounter clearly pointed towards attempts to disturb the local body polls in Kashmir. Whenever there are elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has tried to create problems, however, they have failed on every occasion and this too DDC election will go on without any hindrances," General Singh said.
