The PDP General Secretary said peace, reconciliation and dialogue formed the core of the Agenda of Alliance reached between the PDP and the BJP, and that the party has always been in the forefront to fulfil the aspirations of the people of the state who are looking up to for the establishment of the peace, tranquility and stability 0f Jammu and Kashmir.
It is high time that young men were given hope so that they do not choose the path of violence and a successful peace process in Jammu and Kashmir alone can fulfil the objectives of democracy and justice. Underscoring the need for the sustained efforts to pt lid over the growing uncertainty and instability, Mansoor said that every civilian killing or collateral damage puts the peaceful engagement efforts of the Government on the back burner and gives the vested elements an opportunity to exploit the situation to their advantage.
Mansoor said those at the helm must check the power tussles, ego clashes, and internecine conflicts, which have repeatedly debilitated the dialogue and reconciliation process. “Irrespective of the party lines, the political groups need to rise above and play a constructive role in unison so that state’s present generation is saved from mayhem and bloodshed.”
