New Delhi, Sep 19: Jammu Kashmir's opposition, Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), president Mehbooba Mufti slammed Kashmir government alleging that it was attempting to undermine the all-party delegation's visit to the troubled state on Monday, Sep 20.

"The state government is bent upon sabotaging this visit. They are trying to create more anger by imposing curfew. Since the government has failed totally, they want to destroy everything as they go," said Mehbooba Mufti.

On Sunday, Sep 19 Mehbooba asked the all-party delegation, headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram, to reach out to the common man.

"There is no rationale in the curfew imposed. I appeal to the delegation to reach out to the common man, the people of Kashmir beyond what the Jammu and Kashmir government wants them to see and beyond all the mainstream parties," added Mehbooba.

"The delegation must directly interact with the common man. The state government has brought Kashmiris in confrontation with the security forces. If you alienate your own people, where do they go?" she ask
