JAMMU, Oct 22: Concerned Citizens Group has expressed concern over recent escalation of violence in Kashmir valley and loss of innocent civilians lives.
In a statement, the Group said that the local body elections could have been planned with sensitive political forethought and as part of a consultative process for more inclusive and extensive participation.
“The issue of J&K is so sensitive that it is a sin to use it for petty political gains”, the Group said, adding “the situation is deteriorating and the Government of India remains unconcerned. This policy will only lead to disaster”.
The signatories to the statement are Yashwant Sinha, Wajahat Habibullah, Kapil Kak, Bharat Bhushan and Sushobha Barve.
