The Central government should deal strictly with the separatists spreading unrest in Kashmir, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said on Sunday.

"The government should tighten its grip over the handful of separatists who are causing trouble in the (northern) state," he said.

The yoga guru, who led the campaign for bringing back black money two years ago, said there was a need for result oriented and more effective steps in this direction.

On the overall performance of the Centre, Ramdev said the Narendra Modi-led government was the best on three fronts namely internal and external security of the country, formulating new policy and its execution and bringing international prestige and place in the world.
