| PDP welcomes PM’s statement, demands accountability | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar: PDP, the main opposition party in J and K, today welcomed the fresh initiative unveiled by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to address the unrest in Kashmir hoping it will be a "critical step" forward to usher in lasting peace in the valley.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, whose party has stayed away from the all party delegation from Jammu and Kashmir that met the Prime Minister, said Singh has tried to reach out to the people though she appeared to suggest that his effort has come late.
Mehbooba said the PDP has always maintained that the Prime Minister has to intervene because he has the credibility in the state, noting he has invested a lot in the peace process.
As far as economic packages are concerned, Mehbooba said they can be only fruitful if you have a peaceful environment. She said any package should address the aspirations of the people of Kashmir.
Political package must be a priority, she said, adding that her party would be a part of any serious initiative.
She also said while reaching out was okay, somebody had to be held accountable for the death of 51 civilians in the Valley.
