The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the CPI(M) on Monday expressed displeasure over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in Jammu on April 24, his first visit since J&K was stripped of its special status in August 2019.
“I had no expectations from PM Modi’s visit. I fail to understand what future for the youth the Prime Minister was talking about. The youths are facing charges under the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, which their grandparents and parents didn’t see,” PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said.
She said the method of dialogue adopted by former Prime Minister Vajpayee is no longer visible. “Mr. Vajpayee’s initiatives to stop bloodshed and to reach out to neighbouring country and the people of J&K is nowhere to be seen now,” she said.
