Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman went Jammu and Kashmir on Friday for a two-day visit to take accumulations of the security situation and review vigilance of soldiers on borders. Sitharaman was welcomed by Northern Army Commander and the Chinar Corps Commander at the Old Airfield. She is also projected to visit Siachen on September 30. Later in the day, she visited a forward post on the Line of Control in Kashmir. During her visit, she is expected to meet senior commanders as well. This will be Nirmala Sitharaman’s first visit to the state after she implicated office as the Defence Minister earlier this month. Sitharaman’s visit to the state comes days after Union Minister Jitender Singh said there is need to “change the conversation” around Jammu and Kashmir.

Singh had said that the only issue was “retrieving” the part which is under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. “There is need to change the discourse (on J&K) for future generations. We have to change the memo. There is no such issue as Kashmir issue. It is as much a part of India as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar or any other state. “The only issue if at all is how to retrieve a part of Kashmir which is under the illegal occupation of Pakistan for the past 70 years and restore the Valley in the same format as was handed over by Maharaja Hari Singh,” Singh added.
