Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has called upon the people of Kashmir to support the government in the fight against terrorism.

He was delivering the first Atal Bihari Vajpayee Memorial Lecture in New Delhi on Saturday.

The Minister said it is a battle against separatists and terrorists. He regretted that at a time when the country is dealing with troubles being fomented from across the border, some local groups have joined them and the worst sufferers are Kashmiri people themselves
