J&K Assembly polls: VK Singh likely to visit Kashmir today

Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party leader General (Retd) VK Singh is likely to visit Kashmir on Saturday to interact with party leaders ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls in the state.

The Union Minister of State for External Affairs is visiting Kashmir for the first time after he triggered a controversy claiming that Kashmir
politicians were allegedly paid money by the Army for "stability".

Gen Singh's claim had triggered a political storm in the state with the state Legislature issuing summons to him for explaining his position.

"Gen Singh will be visiting Kashmir tomorrow. He will interact with party leaders and BJP candidates for the forthcoming elections," spokesman of the BJP's Kashmir unit Khalid
Jehangir told PTI.
