"The party leaders expressed grave concern over the grim situationin the valley, which is under curfew for the last 49 days with unrest and incidents of violence continuing unabated," he added.
During the meeting, Congress complimented the people of Jammu "for rejecting all sorts of provocations" and "maintaining peace and religious harmony".

The party also appealed to the people "to remain vigilant" and to not allow the "communal, divisive and anti-national forces" to take advantage of the current situation.
