Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti alleged that the militant attack at the Army base near Uri was aimed at creating a war-like situation in the region. “It seemingly is also meant to trigger fresh violence within Jammu and Kashmir,” she said on Sunday.
The J&K chief minister, while expressing anguish over the attack paid rich tributes to the slain soldiers. She extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and also prayed for early recovery of those injured in the attack.
She added that the heightened tension in the wake of the Uri attack is set to further vitiate the atmosphere in and around Jammu and Kashmir amid increasing India-Pakistan hostility. “Unfortunately, people in Jammu and Kashmir, who are already mired in an agonising situation shall have to bear the maximum brunt of the fresh attempts being made to step up violence and trigger fresh bloodshed in the State,” she said. She added, “J&K has always been the worst victim of India-Pakistan hostility and its people have been paying a colossal price for the same for the past over six decades”.
The CM further said that the perpetrators of violence must understand that violent methods have yielded nothing in the past nor will these give off anything in future except adding to the miseries of the people.
