Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said that "whatever is happening in the Kashmir Valley is sponsored by Pakistan".

Singh said this after a discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the situation in Kashmir.

"When I visited Srinagar and Anantnag on July 23 and 24, I met about 30 delegations from different walks of life and discussed the Kashmir issue," he said.

He also said that the separatists have been calling for shutdowns in the Kashmir Valley.

"I am not saying that people living in Kashmir are leading a normal life but the state government is trying its best to provide basic facilities," Rajnath added.
