The Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said that there are no quick fixes to the Naxal problem. During an interaction with a group of editors at his residence, he said it is more menacing than ever before and is required to be tackled in two ways – addressing valid economic and social issues and also enforcing law and order. The Prime Minister said, Home Minister is doing an exceedingly good job and Mr Chidambaram enjoys his full confidence and support. Indicating a reshuffle in the Cabinet before the winter session of Parliament, the Prime Minister said that he would like to reduce the average age of his Cabinet. Dr Singh said, his cabinet was functioning with a much greater degree of cohesion and rejected the perceptions of disconnect between the Congress party and the government. He also made it clear that he had no plans of retiring. On Jammu and Kashmir, the Prime Minister said that the Cabinet Committee on Security will meet later this week for a threadbare discussion on the situation in the Kashmir valley. He also indicated that Centre may initiate new steps to break the impasse.
