Jammu | June 28
Hours after Jammu and Kashmir pulling into crisis with withdrawal support by the Peoples Democratic Party the situation was nowhere close to normal in Kashmir Valley as agitated protestors demanded nothing short of withdrawal of land from the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board.
An observer watching the Kashmir situation pointed out that PDP’s pulling out from the government is no way going to influence the agitation or soothe the public anger. Even fall of the government will not help resolve the situation where no solution is being sought except for cancellation of the land transfer order.
Meanwhile the Governor NN Vohra is actively engaged in parleys to resolve the controversial land transfer issue, which has already claimed three lives, during the massive demonstrations and protests held across the valley in the last six days.
Earlier today, Governor N N Vohra held a series of meetings with leaders of various political parties to hammer out an amicable solution to the problem, which has prompted the People's Democratic Party to withdraw support from the Jammu and Kashmir government.
Transport Minister and People's Democratic Front president Hakeem Mohammed Yasin and Communist Party of India Marxist’s state secretary M. Y Tarigami had a joint meeting with the governor at Raj Bhavan today.
This was followed by the governor's meeting with a CPI delegation led by senior leader Abdul Rehman Takroo.
The leaders apprised the governor of their views and assessment of the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Professor Bhim Singh, president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, along with a three-member delegation, also called on the governor in the afternoon and urged him to take urgent action to restore normalcy in the state.
Vohra appreciated the endeavours of various political parties and expressed confidence that the contentious issue would be resolved soon. He emphasised the need to "maintain peace and tranquility to foil the attempts of the elements that have a strong vested interest to vitiate the peace in Kashmir and Jammu regions." |
