Anantnag: PDP Chief spokesperson and former MLA Rafi Ahmad Mir while addressing a meeting of party workers at Anantnag has said that “local militants are our own people and we need to talk to them”.
Mir said that iron fist policy of centre and its failure to deem Kashmir as a political issue has pushed the educated youth to the wall, forcing them to take to extremes.
He said that it’s dramatic that PM Modi one hand wants democratic process and on the other hand doesn’t acknowledge that talks alone can heal the bruised psyche of the people. Terming the claims of Prime Minister as a political tool to woo voters in mainland country, Mir said that shutting down the entire Valley to sell development on papers to the country is the only policy Modi believes in.
