Union Home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday told Firstpost.com that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's J&K policy is no different from Former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's efforts to provide a healing touch.
On being asked if the humane touch was missing in Modi's approach in dealing with the current unrest, Singh said,
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is just a continuum of Vajpayee's. Both Vajpayeeji and Modiji belong to the same ideology and the same party. How can there be any difference? We follow the same humane approach now that we did then."
Rajnath also defended J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti and said it was "unfair" to criticise her as the job the CM is not to be on the spot during trouble.
"I have been a chief minister myself and know that the job of the head of government is not to be on the spot. Crisis management does not mean being at trouble spots, that is the job of the law enforcement agencies," Singh told Firstpost.com
Singh also defended Indian Islam and said that he was fully "convinced that syncretism is its essential feature" and it believes in "tolerance and brotherhood" and only some "misguided youth" are getting attracted to the "pernicious ideology".
