Srinagar, September 10: Opposition PDP today accused the NC-Congress coalition government of “confusing” the people of Jammu and Kashmir on the issue of location of the proposed Central university, which has created a rift in the state.
People from both Jammu and Kashmir Valley have been demanding the proposed institution be set up in their regions.
“The attitude of the state government on the location of the proposed central university is divisive. It created the confusion by announcing two universities instead of one and then did not follow it up with the Central government,” PDP President Mehbooba Mufti said addressing workers convention in Doda, 150 kms from here.
The Centre had announced 14 central universities in different states of the country, including one for Jammu and Kashmir, but the state government pleaded for two varsities, one each for Jammu and Kashmir regions.
