Srinagar, May 13 (UNI) PDP President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday appealed to opposition parties to avoid knee-jerk criticism and political point-scoring over the government’s “peace initiatives”, urging them to support the efforts aimed at securing lasting stability.

“I appeal to all the opposition parties to resist the urge for knee-jerk criticism or political point-scoring. Just as the Pahalgam incident united voices from Kashmir to Kanyakumari there is need to build a national consensus around a peace process that safeguards national interests,” Mehbooba said in a post on X.
