Addressing a gathering at the inauguration of Delhi's Waste to Wonder Park, he said after the Pulwama incident "mood is still not that one can participate in any programme with enthusiasm".
"But, I am very sure and I want to assure you that time will come when people's sentiments, their desires, their expectations ... will have fulfilment," Singh said.
The Union minister, however, did not elaborate on his statement that comes amid mounting tension in the India-Pakistan ties.
Forty CRPF jawans were killed in a terror strike by Pakistan-based
Jaish-e-Mohammed in
Jammu and Kashmir's
Pulwama district
on February 14, sparking outrage in the country, with many saying the attack should be avenged.
After the incident, massive protests and candlelight marches were held in different parts of the country against the attack and curfew was imposed in Jammu following violence during demonstrations there.
Two days after the suicide bomber attack, Singh had reviewed the security situation in the country, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting was attended by national security adviser
Ajit Doval, among others.
The home minister had directed the officials to ensure that all possible steps are taken to hunt down terrorists currently operating in the Kashmir Valley.
