It was a blunder by the government and contrary to its claims of making situation conducive for initiating a peaceful dialogue with all stakeholders.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The PDF chief accused the government of having mismatch between its words and the deeds. \u201cOn the one hand the government claims that it is committed to restore peace in the Valley for initiating a peaceful dialogue but on the other it is using brute force to suppress the people,\u201d he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>MLA Khansahib also questioned the government about the follow-up of Yashwant Sinha led delegation\u2019s recent visit to Kashmir. \u201cAccording to media reports, the delegation had been sent to the Valley under the instructions of the Center. If it is true what has been the outcome of the visit. There has been no reaction from the government so far,\u201d he said. \u201cSeparatists have reportedly put forward some conditions for initiating a dialogue. But unfortunately, there is no response from the government side.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<em>He said that both central and state governments have maintained silence over the prevailing situation in Kashmir which is unfortunate. \u201cFor the past almost four months there is a logjam in Kashmir and people are on streets. Instead of seeing what has forced the people to come on streets, the government is using brute forces to quell them. In democracy everybody has right to put forth his point of view, but unfortunately the incumbent government only believes using force,\u201d he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hakim Yasin also criticized the government for disallowing prayers in Jamia Masjid for the last almost four-months. \u201cSuch situation had not happened in Kashmir even during the Mahraja Hari Singh\u2019s rule. Kashmiris are feeling more alienated because of the wrong policies of the present government,\u201d he said.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The PDF chief also called for de-escalation of tension between India and Pakistan at the borders saying continued border tension has resulted in killings and destruction as well as large scale displacement of population living near the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB). \u201cIndia and Pakistan leadership should respect the 2003-ceasefire agreement and stop sacrificing the innocent people on both sides for their narrow domestic political considerations. Kashmiris become the biggest victims of the Indo-Pak hostilities,\u201d he added.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accuses Govt of mismatch between its words, deeds Srinagar: Commenting over the prevailing unrest in Valley, Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) President and MLA Khansahib Hakim Mohammad Yasin Thursday said that it seems government was not interested in restoring peace in Kashmir.
