APSCC pitches for dialogue to resolve Kashmir unrest 12/7/2016 10:13:29 PM Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Dec 7: All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has reiterated its demand for extension of National Commission for Minorities Act to J&K. The party has also impressed upon the need to initiate dialogue process in the state. Chairing a meeting of the Committee at Baramulla, APSCC Chairman, Jagmohan Singh Raina also demanded that the central government should take serious note of the situation prevailing in Kashmir. Raina said that 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. The state government should also step up efforts to control the situation. It is not known whether the situation was discussed by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti in her recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi," said APSCC Chairman. Raina said that mainstream politicians like Farooq Abdullah have now begun taking a different approach to resolving the unrest in Kashmir valley. He said 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. He said measures like withdrawal of Public Safety Act (PSA) that has been slapped on many civilians will help in creating such an atmosphere of trust and conciliation. Kuldeep Singh Bali, President APSCC (Central) said that PDP had in its election manifesto promised to grant minority status to the Sikh community of state. He said that two years have passed and nothing has been done. Fauja Singh, President, APSCC (South) said that Sikhs voted for the PDP but have been ditched after the election.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
