Violence will continue as long as there is PDP-BJP govt: Congress

24 Apr 2017 Evaluate

The Congress Party claimed that violence would continue in Jammu and Kashmir as long as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coalition government is in power in the state. Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said that as long as there will be PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir, it is not possible to restore peace in the valley. Meanwhile, holding CM Mehbooba Mufti's wrong policies responsible for the prevailing unrest in the Valley, Jammu and Kashmir activist Sushil Pandit said the state administration has miserably failed in maintaining the law and order as it has zero credibility.

Pandit said that Kashmir is going from bad to worse. The state administration is unable to control it. The state administration not only has zero credibility, it had to call of polling in the by-election and it has no clue how to fight the fire. The state has no clue how to fight this fire. Pandit also took a dig at Mehbooba's meeting with PM Narendra Modi. He added that it seems she is meeting the PM to use this opportunity for some more consensus as sops for the people of Kashmir. Nobody should be taken in by her logic because all this disruption is not because of certain sops or certain concessions. This is amount to pouring oil to fire.

After meeting the Prime Minister at his official 7, Lok Kalyan Marg residence in the national capital, Mufti demanded that the ruling dispensation at the Centre must follow the footsteps of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and reach out to the disillusioned and angry youth so as to restore a peaceful atmosphere for governance. She asserted that ‘we must start from where Vajpayee ji left. Modi ji has repeatedly said that he would follow the footsteps of Vajpayee ji, whose policy was of reconciliation, not confrontation. There is no option but to talk’.
