| PDP flays NC for 'wrong' handling of Kashmir unrest | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar (PTI) The Opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday rejected the charge that it was behind the ongoing unrest in the Kashmir Valley, saying the ruling NC's "wrong" handling of the situation was to be blamed.
Several NC leaders, including state Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather, had earlier blamed the PDP for the present unrest, which has paralysed the region for nearly a month.
"The accusation leveled by NC leaders that PDP being behind the current unrest and the threat of a police investigation only confirm how wrong the government is in its diagnosis of the problems it has landed itself and the people in," a PDP spokesman said on Sunday.
"By leveling these false charges, government is not only insulting the victims of its terror but also those who are raising their voice against it and braving police atrocities," he added.
The party said government's threat to launch police investigation against it only endorsed the general impression that it was trying to convert the state police into the political tool of the National Conference.
The NC leaders had said, "PDP leadership is behind the present unrest prevailing in some parts of the valley.
Anti-social activities performed by the PDP cadres are highly detrimental to the people's welfare and progress of the state."
The opposition party said the government should focus on restoring peace and normalcy in the state instead of playing a blame-game on the issue.
