Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who celebrated Diwali today with soldiers stationed in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, made a veiled attack on Pakistan, praising the troops for having "foiled a conspiracy to take over Jammu and Kashmir". The Prime Minister, for whom this is a first visit since the centre's controversial move on Article 370, also said "it still stings" to talk about the illegal occupation of certain parts of Kashmir. PM Modi's visit to Rajouri came only a few hours after the Pakistani Army targeted forward posts in the district.
