PM's anti-militancy remark annoys PDP | Mirchi Lagi ! | | Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 4: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has once again exhibited its pro-militancy stand, advocating that militants shouldn't be killed in any way. On Monday, the party issued a detailed statement in which it objected to Prime Minister's remark of breaking the backbone of militancy. The PDP predicted the policy will fail to yield any desired results. The party even equated the situation in Kashmir with Afghanistan and pitched for dialogue with militants again. "We have to learn from what is happening around the world including Afghanistan where there is a thrust on dialogue and Pakistan has been counted as a major partner. Dialogue is the only way forward and it is only through non-confrontational approach that we will be able to give our coming generations a safer and tranquil place to live. Making peace of graveyard prevalent had never worked and will never work," party said in a statement while reacting to Modi's Srinagar speech. However, people are questioning the party's approach vis-a-vis militancy and asking the PDP that it should air about on which side are its inclinations. "Now the PDP is advocating that there should be no militancy operations. What was happening when it was ruling the state? Does that mean that there were no operations taking place against the militants in Kashmir," asked one Jammu based rights activist. On social media also, people are widely reacting to such a statement made by the PDP and term it confusing and dubious at the same time. "On one side you declare that you are a mainstream party and on the other side you echo the voice of the separatists. What is going on in your mind dead PDP?," asked a netizen while reacting to the statement of the party. It may be recalled that on October 30, 2018 Jammu and Kashmir Governor stated that he admits the fact that when Mehbooba Mufti was the chief minister of the state, the recruitment of militants witnessed a spike and also those pelting stones too found it easier to attack the security forces. "I have not gone to Jammu and Kashmir with the BJP's band wagon. I will work as per the constitution and as far as the previous government in the state is concerned, there must be some reason that the support from the PDP was withdrawn. And I admit the fact that while Mehbooba Mufti was the chief minister of the state, the militant recruitment got increased and stone pelters too got away easily while pelting the stones. And what we are reaping at present is what the coalition did in the state but at that time those who were in alliance partners in the government should have reacted to the mistakes being done. Today, I am not answerable to their wrongs," Governor Malik had said in an interview then. Meanwhile, as the polling dates appear closer, the PDP has begun to adopt its soft approach towards the militancy and separatism in Kashmir and has been opposing any move aimed at making the separatists irrelevant in Valley. |
