"It is not easy to resolve the Kashmir issue. There is a need for a long-term policy to resolve the Kashmir issue," Parrikar said at the 126th birth anniversary celebration of Babasaheb Ambedkar in Panaji.

He also said that New Delhi wasn't a place he got habituated to. "Delhi is not my place. It is not the place I am habituated to. There was a lot of pressure on me," Parrikar said.
