The leaders said the present government had instead of resolving issues facing the youth targeted them viciously and thousands of them were framed in false cases. They said that in the modern age of free media young people of the state naturally compared their inability to voice their sentiments with what was happening in other parts of the country. They said Omar Abdullah had only recently advised central government on how to relate with youth and ‘learn from him’ but for the last four days his administration has virtually laid a siege in and around Pulwama while the chief minister himself is vacationing abroad. " It is a travesty of justice that while more than a dozen persons were injured in firing officially attributed to ‘blocking traffic’ no action is contemplated against the perpetrators but youth are arrested for having protested against it", they added.
The PDP leaders said the narrow minded repression by the government was unfortunately radicalising the youth once more, the evidence of which was provided recently in the Sopore encounter where one of the slain militants had been victimised post 2010 agitation. They said the reports about more such victims of official terror having joined the militant ranks were highly disturbing and if the government policies continue unchanged the state could be in for repeat of the post 1987 tragedy.
