Social Democratic Party of India

The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), while expressing its deep concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in Kashmir valley over alleged senseless killing of over two dozen innocent youth by the security forces in as many days, has demanded withdrawal of Army from all the inhabited areas in the Valley.

The SDPI National President E.Abubacker in a statement said the situation in Kashmir demands a political, not a military, solution. A fear psychosis prevailing in the mind of youths of the valley should immediately be addressed by sincere political move. A mere hollow promise by the political heavyweights is not going to work anymore. With normal life coming to a grinding halt in the Valley following unending curfew restrictions, the hardships of the people of the region can be very well realized, he added.

E.Abubacker has demanded the release of all arrested political leaders, activists and protesters. He also demanded to repeal the black AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act in Jammu and Kashmir), which has allowed the army to kill with utter disdain. He urged the Union Government to initiate a real dialogue with the people and parties to solve this vexed issue on a priority basis to bring everlasting peace in the region.
