If the BJP is voted to power, it would develop infrastructure including roads in the bordering state of Mizoram, Singh said. 

Earlier on Wednesday, while addressing students at British Parliament, Afridi said that Pakistan doesn't need Kashmir as it is unable to handle its four provinces.

The area which came under attack was to vote for the first time as it has traditionally been naxal-affected, some reports suggested. There was however, no official confirmation.

The home minister also termed transaction in banks as the lubricant of economy which keeps it moving.

The members of the GoM are Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi, a home ministry official said.

After reviewing the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the home minister pointed out that the state has witnessed a a big shift as incidents of stone-pelting have come down and the recruitment of militants has also decreased.

“Heading to Srinagar on a day-long visit to Jammu and Kashmir. Shall review the security situation and important initiatives taken in the state,” Rajnath Singh tweeted before leaving the national capital.

The home minister will take stock of the overall situation after the conclusion of the municipal elections in the State.

On a two-day visit to the state, the home minister reviewed the situation on the border and assessed the progress in various infrastructure projects.

The home minister said NSG troopers were generally called "Better than the Rest", but he believed that the Black Cats were "Better than the Best".

Last year, the home minister had celebrated Dussehra at Joshimath in Uttarakhand along the Sino-Indian border.

Addressing the silver jubilee foundation day event of the National Human Rights Commission in New Delhi, Singh said that the human rights are not based on any religion.

"The civil aviation sector is highly sensitive and high profile in nature. It also gets worldwide attention when hit by any attack. Often these incidents have geopolitical ramifications," said Rajnath in Delhi.

The Union home minister further stressed that the time was right for global investors to make investments in India. 

The day is not far, may be in a period of 1-2 or 3 years, that the LWE will be eliminated from the country, the home minister said.

There were also discussions on central share under post matric and pre-matric scholarship schemes for the SCs/STs/OBCs and schemes for the modernisation of the state police forces, the official said.

He said the opposition was making a non-practical demand of making public the details of the Rafale jet deal with France over corruption charges.

Rajnath Singh's statement has sparked speculations whether Indian troops conducted another surgical strike against Pakistan to avenge the brutal killing of BSF jawan last week.

In a statement, the home minister said the central government will provide all support, including central forces, for smooth conduct of panchayat and urban local body polls.

Barely 24 hours after agreeing to the engagement, the government Friday called off a meeting between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan in New York, citing the brutal killings of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir and Islamabad releasing postage stamps "glorifying" Kashmiri militant Burhan Wani.
