Union Minister Jitendra Singh has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Pakistan will benefit border dwellers in Jammu and Kashmir. The Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office who visited hamlets along the international border in Kathua and reviewed the progress of projects, explained to people the benefits of Mr Modi’s visit. He said the visit of the Prime Minister to Lahore will have far reaching effects on the lives of the border people and it will benefit such residents.
Mr Singh also hit back at the Congress for its criticism over the Prime Minister’s visit to Pakistan. He said, when the Congress was in rule, they used to hold talks or batted strongly for talks. The Minister said, on Mr Modi’s meetings with Pakistani Premier Nawaz Sharif at international summits, the Congess was asking why talks have been held outside the country, when it should have been held in either of the country. But when Modi has gone to Pakistan, they are saying why has he gone there, Mr Singh said.
