(PTI) Srinagar, April 2 (Agencies): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today urged the youths of Kashmir to choose tourism and development over terrorism, shortly after inaugurating a highway tunnel in Jammu and Kashmir. "I want to tell the Kashmiri youth, there are two paths in front of you which can determine your future - one is tourism, the other is terrorism," the Prime Minister said. "We have a plan to make nine such tunnels in the state," Modi said, adding better connections would mean more jobs. Modi said that whenever Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh were mentioned, remembering Vajpayee was inevitable as he had given the slogan of " Kashmiriyat, jamhooriyat and insaniyat". In a veiled manner, the Prime Minister also hit out at the rulers of Pakistan who are eyeing Kashmir, saying "they can't even take care of themselves".
