Change 'hostile approach' towards opposition: JK Cong to Centre, UT admin

The Congress on Wednesday said the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration must change their "hostile approach" towards opposition to create a conducive political atmosphere in the Union territory.

It also expressed concern over the violence in Delhi and appealed to the people to maintain peace and harmony, a spokesperson said after a meeting of the party unit chaired by J&K Congress president G A Mir here.

"The meeting lashed out at the hostile approach towards opposition by the people at the helm of affairs and sought immediate review of the present approach on political and security environment to create a conducive atmosphere for routine political activities in Jammu and Kashmir," the spokesperson said.

He alleged that "The Centre and UT administration is not taking any positive step to facilitate a conducive political atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir."
