Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and People’s Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday hit out at the Centre for the deployment of additional 100 companies of central armed police force (CAPF) in Kashmir.
Taking to social networking site Twitter, Mehbooba wrote: “Centre’s decision to deploy additional 10,000 troops to the valley has created fear psychosis amongst people. There is no dearth of security forces in Kashmir. J&K is a political problem which won’t be solved by military means. GOI needs to rethink & overhaul its policy.”
