A dissenting voice is not a criminal act, says PDP chief
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti said on Sunday that the dialogue process initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Jammu and Kashmir’s mainstream leadership can gain credibility by ending what she called an “era of oppression and suppression” in the Union Territory, and in understanding that a dissenting voice is not a criminal act. “Give the people right to breathe and rest will follow later,” the former chief minister said, terming the PM’s meeting with a 14-member delegation from Jammu and Kashmir here on Thursday as a way forward to end the “sufferings of people” in the erstwhile State now under Central rule.
