SRINAGAR, Mar 17: Senior PDP leader Mohd Sartaj Madni has said that situation has become more dreadful than 90s in Kashmir.
Addressing youth convention at Devsar in South Kashmir senior PDP leader underscored the need for the greater efforts aimed at addressing the growing alienation among the youth of the State and said that if immediate measures aren’t taken to address the mounting anger at present, the situation could prove more troublesome.
“The way in which the Government is dealing with the youth of the State, the situation has gone back to what was being witnessed prior to 2002 with nocturnal raids, arrests etc becoming order of the day,” Madni said.
He demanded that the torture being inflicted upon the youth with a sole objective to push them towards the wall must stop without further delay and those at the helm should understand that such repressive acts would prove counterproductive.
“Repeating the same old mistakes will prove calamitous. The only way out is to initiate meaningful dialogue with all stake holders and resolve Kashmir issue at an earliest to stop the vicious cycle of violence,” said Madni.
The convention was also addressed by the PDP’s Youth Wing president Waheed-ur-Rahman Parra who stressed for the greater synergised efforts to strengthen the PDP further and make it a strong force in Jammu and Kashmir’s political landscape. He added that channelising the talent of youth of the State has always been PDP’s prime focus and that the party always remained in the forefront to address their concerns.
Among several senior PDP leaders including Ghulam Hassan Lone, Peerzada Mohammad Shafi, Sheikh Gulzar Ahmad, Ghulam Mohammad Mir, Riyaz Ahmad Dar were also present on the occasion.
