Srinagar,
\nChief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has lauded the country\u2019s political leadership, judiciary, media and the civil society for standing with the J&K Government to ensure justice in the Kathua rape and murder case, saying that it will go a long way in restoring the people\u2019s confidence in the institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe essence of India\u2019s democracy lies in its robust institutions and it has been once again established that the institutions have the grit to ensure justice with all sections of society cutting across the divide,\u201d Mehbooba said while addressing a meeting of the PDP legislators and party leaders here on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The CM equally commended the role of the people of Jammu for having discounted the divisive agenda of the rabid, fringe elements and coming out with unwavering support for the little girl.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has strengthened my belief that Jammu serves as a model of inclusiveness and together the people of J&K inspire secular unity and righteousness,\u201d she said, adding that this serves as a cue that the people of Jammu and Kashmir can hold a beacon of hope for the whole country amid harshly polarised discourse.<\/p>\n
She said the way the whole country had come out seeking justice for innocent Kathua girl had generated a new hope among the people in J&K\u0010which needed to be built on to recreate an inclusive India.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntolerance and hate are hitting at the country\u2019s core values and posing a great threat to pluralism, the only option for achieving the goals India has set out for,\u201d she said, adding that India comprises a composite culture and no one has domination in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to keep this civilisation alive. If we get derailed, we cannot achieve what we have set out for,\u201d she maintained.<\/p>\n
Mehbooba said while the ultimate solution to the momentous challenges confronting Jammu and Kashmir shall have to be worked out both on the internal and external fronts through a sustained process of engagement, what was needed urgently in Kashmir was that elements of sanity, common sense and pragmatism shall have to be picked up in the light of the global and subcontinental realities and make use of \u0007political and democratic means to voice our concerns.<\/p>\n
Stressing the urgency of responding to the challenges in Jammu and Kashmir through tangible political measures before the crisis degenerates into a catastrophe, Mehbooba said the people of J&K, irrespective of their age, gender, status or political affiliation, had been suffering the disastrous consequences of the political uncertainties plaguing the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
