SRINAGAR: In a message to separatists, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today asserted that nothing would be achieved by terrorism and that the “great” Indian democracy provides freedom to make choices unlike countries where democracy ceased to exist.
She told the Assembly that for development and progress of Jammu and Kashmir, peace and reconciliation between India and Pakistan is a must and that the main agenda of her Government is to encourage this.
Referring to last week’s terror attack on CRPF convoy in Pampore in which eight security personnel were killed and 21 injured, she said “such senseless acts of violence” amount to “showing contempt to this Holy month” of Ramdhan.
Such acts send a wrong signal about the situation which can have grave consequences on the overall economy of the State, Mehbooba said on the last day of the Budget session.
“These attacks have not yielded anything in past, despite so much bloodshed, and they will not yield anything in future. They only bring bad name to Kashmir. The month of Ramadhan calls for self-control and restraint. By indulging in such senseless acts of violence, you are showing contempt to this Holy month,” she said. (AGENCIES)
