Srinagar: CPI(M) MLA from Jammu and Kashmir M Y Tarigami on Thursday accused the Centre of contributing to the cycle of violence in the state with its use of disproportionate force to quell unrest.
He said the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre is making the situation in the state worse by subduing people’s political aspirations instead of holding a credible dialogue.
“While violence has engulfed Kashmir, the response of Government of India has only been the use of disproportionate force which contributes to the vicious cycle of violence,” the Kulgam MLA told reporters here.
Tarigami said the killing of seven civilians in his constituency in a blast on Sunday shook entire Kashmir.
The civilians were killed when unused explosives of three Jaish-e-Mohammed militants, gunned down in an encounter, went off. (Agencies)
