Kashmir is a sensitive issue, we are dealing with it cautiously: Kiren Rijiju

Terming the Kashmir issue as ‘sensitive’, union minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju on Sunday said the Centre was dealing with the matter cautiously by taking all measures in national interest.

‘It is not wise enough on my part (now) to spell out the steps which we are planning to take because it is a sensitive matter and we are dealing with it cautiously and we have to see everything in national interest,’ Rijiju told reporters.

He was speaking here after reviewing the Passing Out Parade of the National Industrial Security Academy (NISA), premier training institute of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

When asked about the Rs 500 crore package for rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants, he said, ‘This (package) was already announced and we are working on that...but I cannot spell out any policy about Kashmir now, because these are under the consideration of our ministry.’ 

Rijiju, while attending the passing out parade of 625 trainees at National Industrial Security Academy (NISA) congratulated the trainees. He said, ‘the agenda for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) should be to look for and create unique, scientific and innovative approaches to security management’.  

On the  occasion, Arvind Ranjan, director General (DG) of CISF said, ‘our endeavour should be to nurture our core underlying qualities like discipline, turnout, physical fitness and tactical soundness that render us the vital edge in our functioning.’
