As violence in Kashmir entered its 50th day Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Friday at his 7 Race Course Road residence to apprise him of the security situation in the valley.

According to reports the Centre took a tough stand with Mehbooba and told her to take control of the law and order situation which was spiralling out of control. According to reports Modi told Mufti quot;mobiles and loudspeakers are being misused to incite violencequot;. It was the first time that the two leaders met since the crisis in Kashmir began more than a month ago.

Speaking to media persons Mehbooba asserted that the Centre was concerned about the ongoing crisis in Kashmir. quot;The prime minister wants this bloodshed to end so that the state comes out of the present turmoilquot; she said after coming out of an hour-long meeting with Modi.

Slamming Pakistan for constantly attempting to derail peace measures between the two countries she said.

quot;Pakistan is not a stakeholder in Kashmir. They have no rights. Pakistan has been openly trying to provoke and fuel tensions in the Valley. Mujhe khushi hai ki Modi ji ne na sirf pehle apni oath ceremony mein Nawaz Sharif sahab ko bulaya balki khud Lahore chale gaye. Par badkismati ke sath uske baad Pathankot hua I was very happy when PM Modi invited Nawaz Sharif during his swearing-in ceremony in 2014 and also went to Lahore. But unfortunately right after that came the Pathankot massacre.nbsp;

Sadly Pakistan has repeatedly wasted chances to talk and resolve issues. Pichle dinon Kashmir mein haalaat kharab hue aur Pakistan khulke haalaat ko theek karne ke bajaaye koshish kar rahe the provocation ho In the last few days when situation in Kashmir worsened Pakistan instead of resolving or helping to resolve the issue was trying to provoke the youth from across the border.quot;

In a massive fillip to the recently-formed Boxing Federation of India the Sports Ministry Friday granted recognition to the body which was voted to office last month.

quot;Ministry of Sports recognises Boxing Federation of IndiaBFI as the National Sports Federation for Boxingquot; the Sports Ministry tweeted from its official handle.

quot;Recognition to BFI will give a big boost to preparation of our boxers for the Tokyo Olympics and other major international competitionsquot; it added.

quot;There has been no National Sports Federation for Boxing since 2012. Recognition of BFI by the Sports Ministry fulfils the requirement.quot;

BFI took charge in September after elections conducted in the presence of an observer from not just the Sports Ministry but also from the International Boxing Association AIBA.

With an overwhelming vote Uttarakhand’s Ajay Singh who is also the Chairman and Managing Director of Spicejet Airlines was elected President of BFI.

Maharashtra’s Jay Kowli was elected the Secretary General of the body which will be conducting the national tournaments for both men and women in the next two months.

BFI ended the administrative vacuum that had hampered the sport for the last four years. Indian boxing had been enduring a turbulent time after the now defunct Indian Amateur Boxing Federation was terminated for manipulation in elections.nbsp;
