Addressing a public rally at Bemina here, he said “J&K people have realized the fact that violence is the biggest enemy to their social, political and economic interests.” He said “New Delhi does not necessarily need to have peace and tranquility in J&K, but the people of this region do because they have high stakes in a peaceful environment here”.
