New Delhi: Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday said his government was working
to provide 50,000-100,000 jobs to the youths of troubled Jammu and
Kashmir. This, he added, would change their "mental makeup and
mindset".
"We will do everything to strengthen the hands of the state
government to provide a fairer deal to the youths of Jammu and
Kashmir and provide 50,000 to one lakh jobs to Kashmiris,"
Manmohan Singh said, replying to the debate on the motion of
thanks on the president's address.
"It will change the mental makeup and mindset of youth of
Kashmir," the prime minister said.
He said the central government has formed a panel of experts,
headed by former Reserve Bank of India governor C. Rangarajan, for
a job plan in the employment-starved state. The panel will file
its report soon, he said.
The state, Manmohan Singh stressed, had passed through a difficult
time particularly last summer. "But since then, the situation has
improved."
This summer, he hoped, "we will be vigilant enough" to ensure it
doesn't happen again.
The prime minister said the government "will give no quarters to
secessionists" in the state but asked political parties to "not
disturb the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir".
