Srinagar, May 9 (TNS): Puppet Chief Minister of occupied J&K Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday convened an all-party meeting to deliberate on the worsening situation and discuss measures to restore normalcy in the occupied valley.
Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Mufti said it was agreed that there should be a unilateral ceasefire during the holy month of Ramzan and Amarnath Yatra.
“Everyone agreed that we must appeal Centre that government must think about a unilateral ceasefire like Vajpayee did in 2000. Encounters, crack downs is causing trouble to common man. Efforts must be made to maintain environment so that both Eid and Amarnath Yatra are peaceful,” the J&K chief minister said.
She further said all the representatives also agreed to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and express their concerns.
“Everyone agreed that if agenda of alliance between BJP and PDP is followed, then situation in J&K can be changed. Everyone also agreed that we meet PM Modi and express our concerns over situation in J&K and discuss how we reach out to people of the state,” Mufti added.
Modi is scheduled to visit occupied state next week.
