The State unit of BJP Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not visiting Kashmir on Eid-ul-Fitr.

PM not visiting Kashmir on Eid eve - BJP“Though PM has been invited to take part in a function in Jammu on July 17 to mark the 100th birth anniversary of former MP and Minister Gridhari Lal Dogra, there is no confirmation from the PMO about his visit to Jammu and Kashmir. But I can tell you with surety that PM is not visiting Kashmir,” BJP’s spokesmen Khalid Jahangir was quoted as saying by KNS.

He said that BJP’s state leadership is in discussion with the PMO regarding the visit of the PM. “As of now this information that was spread that the Prime Minister’s is visiting Srinagar is incorrect,” he said.

It was reported that Modi is scheduled to visit Kashmir on July 17, a day before Eid-ul-Fitr.

So far, Modi has visited Jammu and Kashmir six times since he took over as the Prime Minister in May last year.
