Srinagar, June 29: Asking the State government to exhibit utmost caution and restraint in its response to the emerging situation, the CPI (M) on Tuesday expressed deep anguish over the spate of civilian killings across the Valley. 
 “The CPI (M) believes that the blame game between Central and the State government over the civilian killings will drift the situation towards more chaos, and both the governments are expected to respond to the situation with a rational and humane approach,” the CPI (M) general secretary M Y Tarigami said in a statement.   
 “The present situation is the manifestation of the long pending political discontentment among the people of JK and demands serious political process, dialogue and deliberations. The political initiatives taken by India and Pakistan a few years ago had undoubtedly given the people a ray of hope but unfortunately those political processes have come to a halt,” he added.
 “The prevalent situation of the Valley should yet again make the central government realize the importance of initiation of a serious all-inclusive political dialogue with the people of JK,” Tarigami said. 
 He said the state government with the help of the Centre should address the genuine grievances of the disillusioned youth.
 “The recent visit to the State by Prime Minister was bereft of any political message.  It has thus deepened further the disillusionment among the people particularly the youth. We firmly believe that the people have the right to protest, but they should remain cautious, lest their sentiments can be exploited by the vested interests for their nefarious designs, at the cost of their blood,” he added.
Tarigami calls on Governor
 Meanwhile, the CPI (M) State Secretary M Y Tarigami, called on the Governor, N N Vohra, at Raj Bhavan, here today.
The Governor and Tarigami discussed wide-ranging issues during their meeting, including the recent developments in the State.
