Srinagar, Dec 27: Condoling the demise of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh the All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) Chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina said that Dr Singh was always concerned about the peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that the former Prime Minister will always be remembered for his liberal economic policies that took India out of the morass in the early 1990s.

In his condolence message, Raina said that Dr Singh always believed in a dialogue and advocated for the same while dealing with the Kashmir issue. He said that Dr Singh always tried his best to bring in all stakeholders under a single roof so that the Kashmir problem is resolved.
