"We condemn the attack on a CRPF bunker in Srinagar and killing of a youth in a separate incident. Such senseless violence serves nobody's interests," Mufti said a public rally in Rajouri, 150 kms from here.

"Our country as the largest stake holder has to take a lead role, which could set one fifth of humanity on the road to progress," Mufti said.
He said it was unfortunate that the peace process had got bogged down apparently in electoral apprehensions of major political parties on both sides.
