According to the reports, Congress president lambasted the insensitive handling of the situation in the Valley by both the State and the Central governments. She said that centre as well as state government are systematically alienating and antagonizing the local population especially the youth.

“A divisive agenda is being followed which has undone years of goodwill and progress. A large number of jawans and civilians have lost their lives or have been injured,” she said.
