Srinagar, Jul 30 (NVI): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday expressed concern over reports of a crackdown on peaceful protesters across the Line of Control (LoC), urging the Pakistan government to address their grievances through dialogue instead of force.
In a post on X, Mufti said the visuals emerging from the other side of Kashmir were “deeply heartbreaking” and described it as “painful to see peaceful protesters being met with brute force.”
She appealed to the Pakistan government to adopt a humane approach, saying reports suggested that the protesters’ demands were genuine and deserved to be heard.
“No nation grows stronger by disempowering its own people or by silencing them at gunpoint,” Mufti said, calling for an end to the use of force against peaceful demonstrators.
She said Kashmiris deserved “dignity, justice and the right to be heard, not repression.”(NVI)
