Prasad said, "The BJP firmly believes Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and the BJP is committed to development of J&K where good governance is the biggest casualty and where corruption has led to loss of development and progress.
"People of the state need a corruption free administration. Young people need jobs, need development, good governance. But getting these fundamental issues addressed, separatist leaders tried to cloud the aspiration of youth," he said.
He said, "BJP strongly condemns it and reiterates that J&K is an integral part of India. BJP is firmly committed to the development of the state."
