TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday blamed the Centre and the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir for the current unrest in the border state, accusing them of “colossal failure” and “systematically alienating” the local population in the Valley.
The fresh offensive by the Congress against the BJP over the crisis in Kashmir came even as former chief minister Omar Abdullah alleged that the Centre’s “unfortunate failure” to reach out and build bridges of reconciliation and peace with the youth in the Valley has created a political vacuum.
Emphasising that the current crisis in J and K was due to the “colossal failure” of the government, Gandhi said the “insensitive” handling of the situation by both the state and central governments is systematically alienating and antagonising local population, especially the youth.
“A divisive agenda is being followed which has undone years of goodwill and progress,” she told a meeting of the Congress Working Committee(CWC) in New Delhi.
