【Srinagar】Preparations are on in Jammu and Kashmir to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit a success. While the BJP leaders on the 4th of November expressed the hope to see a “comprehensive economic package”, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stressed that “former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s legacy need to be carried forward”.
The BJP’s coalition partner PDP continues to harp on the Vajpayee’s legacy, wherein the former Prime Minister extended a hand of friendship to Pakistan in 2003. “We expect the Prime Minister to take forward the process started by Vajpayeeji, who used to talk of peace and prosperity. We want the Prime Minister to pick up threads where it was left by Vajpayeeji,” said PDP president Mehbooba Mufti.
○Security beefed up ahead of PM Modi's rally in Srinagar
【Srinagar】Unprecedented security measures have been put in place here ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally on Saturday (07-11-15), with security forces manning all the entry and exit points of the city.
The unprecedented security measures have led to traffic jams at many places. The venue for the Prime Minister's rally - Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium - has been turned into a virtual fortress with Special Protection Group (SPG) taking over it, the officials said, adding a large posse of police and paramilitary personnel have also been deployed in and around the area to secure it.
