Aligarh, Oct 17: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed today said that the suicide attack at his residence was just an attempt to derailing the peace process but emphasised that his government was committed to maintaining peace in the state. "Such attack's were only aimed at derailing the peace process," Sayeed told reporters here referring to the attack on his official residence in Srinagar today.
He said his government would continue to maintain peace in the state at any cost and desperate attacks by militants would be no hinderance in its resolve to defeat their nefarious designs. Asked whether he would hold Pakistan responsible for the attack, Sayeed said, "This is obvious. Those coming from Pakistan are not able to digest peace in the state, hence they resort to such nefarious activities."
The Chief Minister said militants were also frustrated with the fact that the local support for them had almost vanished from the state. "With the changed international scenario, terrorism is defeating everything. Gun is no solution," he said. Bureau Report
