In Kashmir, peace prevails in Srinagar as curfew was relaxed last evening in view of Islamic festival of 'Shab-e-Miraj'. At Hazratbal shrine thousands of people offered prayer this morning even though gathering was much less than given such occasions.<br/><br/>Police authorities say there was no major incident in the city during the night and curfew will remain relaxed for the day as well. One person, however, got injured in Nowhata area of old city when the Police had to fire in air to chase away a group of protestors. A similar incident from Maisuma area was also reported but no one was injured there.<br/><br/>In South Kashmir, curfew restrictions were eased in all towns except Kakapura in Pulwama district. Restrictions were also eased in North Kashmir towns, except Sopore. Our Srinagar correspondent adds that relaxation in curfew has enabled people to purchase much needed essential commodities.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said that the situation in the state is not out of control and asserted that he will do his best to deliver on the best to the people. Talking to the Week magazine, he said the credibility of his Government and his own image has been dented by the recent incidents of violence involving stone-pelting and action by security forces. He, however, asserted that he will not run away and leave the field, as he is not a weak person. Omar said that the stone-pelting incidents and strikes in the Valley are symptoms of a wider problem, which is that people on both sides of Line of Control have been fed on a diet that there is a problem in Jammu and Kashmir that needs to be resolved. When referred to the statement by PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti that the State Government has declared war on the people, Omar said the Opposition party could have acted responsibly and tried to end the violence and bloodshed, but they chose to make it worse.<br/><br/>The top brass of the Congress met in New Delhi on Friday to discuss the current situation in the Kashmir valley. Home Minister P Chidambaram briefed the Core group of the party about the latest situation in the valley. During the hour long meeting chaired by the party President Sonia Gandhi, the latest developments were discussed at length.<br/><br/>On the other hand, the BJP has demanded an explanation from the Government on the outcome of the recent high-level talks between Home Minister P Chidambaram and his Pakistani counterpart. Party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters in New Delhi that the transcripts of the conversations between the terrorists in Pakistan and their menials in Jammu and Kashmir are evidence enough to show that people from across the border are fomenting trouble in the state. He said, the BJP had been warning Prime Minister Manmohan Singh against taking hurried decisions in holding talks with Pakistan.
