Mental tension increased across valley: Noor ul Hussain Khan

SRINAGAR: Prominent social and Anti-Corruption activist, Noor ul Hussain Khan today expressed his serious concern over the fast deteriorating situation in Kashmir.

Noor ul Hussain Khan said that because of the prevailing situation in Kashmir, people are feeling suffocated and mental tension has increased across the valley.

He urged India and Pakistan to shun the confrontational approach to start the negotiations for resolving the issues including Kashmir.

“The content of the flood of advisories which have been on the social media is all about security – it’s about movement of security forces, it’s about troop deployment, it’s about advising yatris and tourists to return home. The government of the day has to take a call. They can not keep on communicating with the inhabitants through advisories”, he added.

He appealed the Central Government to clear the confusion and reach out to the people of Kashmir.

“Scare, confusion, chaos is leaving Kashmiris in a state of psychological distress. Scare is not perpetual; neither can scare be made a permanent feature. Communicating to its own people, reaching out to them is the most essential thing that the government of the day can do. It is already very late but still they come and clear the air”, he added.
