Amit Shah proposes employment as solution in Kashmir |
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been at the helm of Jammu and Kashmir`s issue including the amendment bill presented by him. The Centre considers President`s rule in Jammu & Kashmir as `golden opportunity` to win the hearts of people. The government has been working on a two-pronged strategy — a strong push to development projects for generating employment opportunities and “expose” local politicians involved in scams and serving their vested interest. People across the state have been wanting change and better governance. One such initiative, `Back to Village` campaign, just ended under which gazetted officers spent two days and a night in all 4,483 panchayats of the state. Although huge security cover was provided to officials visiting the villages, including in south Kashmir which is still in the grips of terrorism, success of the `back to village` event is seen as a major impetus to peace initiatives and efforts to weed out extremists from the state. Amit Shah feels that for Jammu & Kashmir`s peace, it is important to have employment for all and exposure to the outside world. The state government is working hard to generate employment as unemployment is a major factor leading to distress among the youth. The state has even planned an investment summit in October.
