Time will come when sentiments will be addressed, says Rajnath

NEW DELHI: Amid outrage in the country over the Pulwama terror attack, Union home minister Rajnath Singh Thursday said “time will come” when people’s sentiments and expectations will have “fulfilment”.

Addressing a gathering at the inauguration of Delhi’s Waste to Wonder Park, he said after the Pulwama incident “mood is still not that one can participate in any programme with enthusiasm”.

“But, I am very assured and I want to assure you that time will come when people’s sentiments today, their desires, their expectations... those expectations will have fulfilment.”

The Union minister, however, did not elaborate on his statement that comes amid mounting tension in the India-pakistan ties.

The February 14 attack in Pulwama, which claimed lives of 40 CRPF troopers, has triggered massive protests across the country.

Two days after the suicide bomber attack, Singh had reviewed the security situation in the country, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir.

The meeting was attended by National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, among others.

The home minister had directed the officials to ensure that all possible steps are taken to hunt down terrorists currently operating in the Kashmir Valley.

After inaugurating the Park, Singh said that waste disposal should be done properly for which the municipal corporations will have to play a lead role.
