SRINAGAR: “The  BJP  government  at the centre and the PDP-BJP government in J&K are engaged in actions  that  amount  to  a  complete  violation  of  universally  accepted  human  and  democratic  rights  and  of   the   very   Indian   Constitution   they  claim  to  want  to  impose  in  the Kashmir valley.”
