This not a new problem but an old one," he told Network18 in an interview when asked how to solve the problem of the valley.
Asserting that "solution to the problem" would be found, Modi said, "Kashmir needs ‘vikas’ (development) and ‘vishwas’ (confidence). 125 crore people of the country are ready to give ‘vikas’ and there has never been dearth of ‘vishwas’."

"I hope Kashmiri youth will not be misled and will move ahead with peace, unity, harmony. I hope Kashmir will remain the ‘jannat’ (paradise)," the Prime Minister said.
