SRINAGAR, Oct 29: Describing the visit of the selected European Union Members of Parliament, largely of a particular ideology, as clearly a Public Relation (PR) exercise, J&K National Conference today said that it is ironical that these EU law makers are visiting the Valley when the State’s leaders, including the former Chief Ministers are incarcerated for nearly three months now and hundreds of others are in jail across the country.
“What the people of Kashmir think of the MPs visit is very clear from an intensified shutdown in the Valley today”, National Conference spokesperson said in a statement here this morning.
The spokesperson said that National Conference would like to underline that PR stunts are not an answer to the unprecedented situation prevailing since August 5.
“The Centre should instead take concrete steps to heal the wounds of the people”, he said adding that it is possible only when those who have been incarcerated are released, democracy restored and the dialogue process initiated with all stakeholders of Jammu and Kashmir.
