Srinagar: Describing the situation in Jammu and Kashmir as "grim", the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to
intervene.
"It is time that the Prime Minister intervened at
least to restore humanitarian aspects of governance in the
state," PDP President Mehbooba Mufti said in a statement.
She claimed that there was scarcity of essential
commodities.
Mehbooba said such supplies were maintained even when
the Valley was witnessing high militancy and violence.
"Whatever the sentiment, and whatever the place or
occasion government, the response has been uniform and it has
not been able to learn from its blunders that have landed the
state into its worst crisis," she alleged.
