SRINAGAR:
Expressing dismay over the continued instability along the borders in Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party president and member Parliament, Mehbooba Mufti today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rise to the occasion and strive for finding ways and avenues for the resolution of the momentous problems confronting the State and the region.
“With a decisive mandate on his back, the Prime Minister has the opportunity and luxury of conceiving a new grand strategy for Jammu and Kashmir by not only reviving the peace initiative that had worked well between 2002 and 2005, but pioneering fresh political and economic initiatives with speed, purpose and direction”, Ms Mehbooba said while addressing a day-long convention of PDP workers at Pulwama in south Kashmir.
“Responding to the people’s innermost yearning for peace, the PDP-led Government had in 2002 crusaded the Healing Touch Policy to repair the people’s hurt psyche, salvage their bruised dignity, rekindle a new hope in their hearts and motivate them to mould their destiny through a participatory political process”, she said.
“The results were there for all to behold and fortunately the country’s leadership, at that time, also understood and appreciated the rejuvenating and hopeful political and economic transformation in the state and responded to it in good measure, she added. (AGENCIES)
