The home minister is expected to a take a call on whether the present suspension of operations against the militants would be extended after the Eid festival to cover the annual Amarnath Yatra.

"The decisive actions that the government has taken... 600 militants have been killed during the period," Union Minister Jitendra Singh said.

On his recent comment on the possibility of talks with Pakistan or the separatists for peace in Kashmir, he said the country has no aversion to dialogue.

Amid firing and ceasefire violations by Pakistan across the Line of Control and the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh directed constant vigil and security on Indian borders.  

The Home Minister also said schools and health care centres in villages, to which the martyrs belong, should be named after them.

“In Karnataka, there is a situation where some MLAs from other parties might be wanting a stable government, and if any such MLA offers support on that basis, we cannot refuse”, the Home Minister said.

The Union Home MInister lauded the armed forces for giving a "befitting reply" to terrorists. 

"I have talked to Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti several times and have asked my party workers to visit the place and take initiative to ensure justice to the victims, and thus normalise the situation," Rajnath Singh said.

Rajnath Singh lauded the forces for ensuring that no big terror incident has taken place in the hinterland, except in parts of Jammu and Kashmir.   

The minister even urged all parties in the Lower House of Parliament to maintain peace in the aftermath of violence over Supreme Court order on SC/ST Act.

"There can be a debate on whether more work has been done or less, but no one can raise a question on the integrity and intention of the government," Rajnath said.

The minister's statement came days after the Bharatiya Janata Party suffered a double jolt as it was trounced in the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha by-polls for the Gorakhpur and Phulpur and in Bihar's Araria.

"I want to tell those who are trying to teach jihad to innocent Kashmiri youths that they should first learn the real concept of jihad in Islam," he said.

The home minister pointed out that incidents of serious crime take place because the police and citizens do not work together to prevent decay of social norms and social disorder.

Addressing CISF jawans and officers on the 49th raising day of the paramilitary force at its camp here, Singh said a cyber-security plan against such new age threats should not only be prepared but also strengthened from time to time.

The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), in alliance with the BJP, took over the reins of the north-eastern state with the support of 32 MLAs.

As the standoff between bureaucrats and AAP govt continued, LG Anil Baijal met Rajnath Singh, two days after he submitted a preliminary report over alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.

The home minister said the home ministry has sought a report on the incident from the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and "justice will be done".

Rajnath Singh also said talks and terrorism cannot go hand in hand.

Rajnath Singh said country's world-wide prestige has grown in the recent past and the young people need to work dedicatedly in the field of knowledge and science to ensure that no one can stop India from becoming a world leader.
