Sinha said some people make statements that “atrocities are being committed on those providing shelter to terrorists. This is not an atrocity. I believe it is the demand of justice, it is happening and it will continue in future.” The Lt Governor said statehood would be restored to J&K soon. Home Minister Amit Shah, he said, has assured in parliament that statehood will be restored. “Whatever is being said in parliament it is binding and the government has to accept it. The assurance that the government gives in the parliamentary session is as true as the sun rising from the east. No one has to make any effort in this regard,” he added.Meanwhile, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, speaking during an obituary reference in the Assembly, praised former PM Vajpayee for his vision on Kashmir. He recalled Vajpayee’s efforts to improve relations with Pakistan, noting his historic bus trip to Lahore and visit to Minar-e-Pakistan. “It was a big thing. And then he said we can change friends and not neighbours. Today, hardly anybody can say it,” the CM said.
