SRINAGAR, Dec 7: All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) today reiterated its demand for extension of the National Commission for Minorities Act to Jammu and Kashmir.
The decision to press for this demand was taken at a convention held at Baramulla. The APSCC also demanded that the Central Government take serious note of the situation prevailing in Kashmir.
“The state continues to be in the grip of unrest over reports of killings, injuries, imprisonment of civilians, and burning of schools and official buildings. Maintaining silence on such issues will further aggravate the resentment of people and lead to the worsening of an already precarious situation,” said the APSCC chairman, Jagmohan Singh Raina.
“If the Government continues to deal with the situation as it has been doing so far, there will be apprehensions of the situation getting out of hand”. The APSCC urged upon the Central and State Governments to make greater efforts to address the grievances of the people and to create a congenial atmosphere for sincere talks among all stakeholders,” said the APSCC chairman.
