People in Jammu and Kashmir are unaffected by Pakistan`s propaganda about the Indian government and armed forces, the Indian Army`s top commander in Kashmir said. Raju, who heads the Srinagar-headquartered 15 Corps, told IANS that the situation in the Kashmir Valley is normal and Pakistan is not happy about it and "propagating false narratives about the Valley". They are propagating the narrative that there is violence, mishandling, misgovernance and the security forces in the Valley have gone berserk. He stressed that Pakistan has been stretched domestically but yet it is not able to let go of its Kashmir cause. The Srinagar Corps Commander also held that theoretically and practically, there is no option for Pakistan in the Valley.
