“The number of incidents of bomb blasts, terrorist attacks, communal clashes and curfews have drastically come down in the country. Despite all these achievements comparing India with Afghanistan is very unfortunate,” he said.

He claimed that Kashmir had become peaceful and that people were appreciating the efforts of the Modi government.

The Union Minister also said his party was ready for a debate on the Central assistance provided to the State in the last eight years.
