The Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has said that the Supreme Court should not get into the realm of policy formulations. He was answering a question on the Apex court 's direction to the government to distribute food grains to the poor instead of allowing them to rot during an interaction with a select group of editors in New Delhi today. The Prime Minister said he had not not seen the final judgement of the court but he respected the sentiments behind the decision that a way should be found to ensure that at a time when when foodgrains are rotting the needs of the people should be met. Dr Singh wondered how free food could be given to an estimated 37 per cent of the population that lives below poverty line. Dr Singh added that making food available free would destroy incentives to farmers to produce more. 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 is 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 has no plans of retiring . On Jammu and Kashmir , the Prime Minister said that The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) will meet later this week for a threadbare discussion on thesituation in Kashmir valley .He also indicated that Centre may initiate new steps to break the impasse. In a reference to the current unrest in the valley, the Prime Minister said that there had to be a different attitude to riot control. He said more humane methods rather than lethal weapons should be used to deal with crowds. Dr Singh also favoured more and more powers to be shifted to Jammu and Kashmir police saying that sometime it will work, sometimes it will not not work. On the naxal problem, Dr Singh said there are no quick fixes to the issue. He said valid economic and social issues have to be addressed but law and order has also to be enforced. The Prime minister said Home Minister is doing an exceedingly good job and Mr Chidambaram has his full confidence and support. While admitting there have been lapses and delays in preparations for the Commonwealth games, the Prime Minister urged everyone to work together to ensure success of the mega event.
